A technical paper titled “Enhanced thermoelectric performance via quantum confinement in a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor for thermal management” was published by researchers at ...

Quantum confinement is a physical effect that occurs when the size of a material—usually a semiconductor or conductor—is reduced to the nanoscale thereby restricting the movement of electrons or holes ...

Green hydrogen production from solar water splitting has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years because hydrogen is a fuel of high energy density. A research team co-led by scholars from ...

Germanium nanocrystals and quantum dots have emerged as pivotal components in modern semiconductor applications, owing to their unique quantum confinement effects and tunable optoelectronic properties ...

Bilayer graphene with one of the two layers twisted displayed unique resonant electronic behavior. Understanding how electrons move in such 2-D materials could shed light on how to manipulate them for ...

Professor Ruiqin Zhang, Chair Professor in the Department of Physics at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), delivered a lecture titled "Tuning of Confined Quantum States" at the virtual talk of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Dimensions typically refer to the measurable extent of height, width, and depth, defining an object's presence in physical space. However, in the weird and wonderful quantum world ...

Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have succeeded in creating a "superlattice" of semiconductor quantum dots that can behave like a metal, potentially ...

The Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE) and its extension into quantum Zeno dynamics represent a profound interplay between measurement and quantum evolution. Initially conceived as an inhibition of state decay ...

Green hydrogen production from solar water splitting has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years because hydrogen is a fuel of high energy density. A research team discovered the quantum ...

Researchers achieve quantum confinement without shrinking materials by engineering a COF with confined excitons, enabling strong photoluminescence and nerve agent detection. (Nanowerk News) Quantum ...
