Materials scientists at Rice University have developed a new workflow methodology for measuring microscopic defects in ...

Defects in transistors, such as unwanted impurities and broken chemical bonds in the various layers of the semiconductor, can limit their performance and reliability. These defects are becoming harder ...

The development and study of perovskite solar cells is a contemporary area due to their favorable characteristics such as tunable bandgap, high absorption coefficient, low exciton binding energy, ...

Defect tolerance is a concept applied in photovoltaics to explain semiconductors such as lead-halide perovskites that excel without relying on single-crystalline growth. It differentiates from the ...
