Studying ferroelectric materials can be done with the help of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), due to the sensitivity and nanometer-level resolution it inherits from AFM. Bruker discusses the best modes and practices in regards to PFM measurements in a new application note.

Semiconductor lasers are generated via radiative recombination of charge carrier pairs in semiconductors. They are more efficient, cost-effective, and require less power than conventional laser systems, making them a popular choice in the manufacturing, medicine, and energy sectors.

Photonic applications that employ the II-Vi semiconductor Zinc Oxide (ZnO) are becoming increasingly popular, and more works are being carried out to explore the unique properties of the material.

This article looks at the EBSD analysis of cracking in polycrystalline materials.

With numerous markets reporting problems with overly optimistic P50 estimates, attention has also been drawn to similar issues with PAN files. TÜV Rheinland’s Yating Zhang and Christos Monokroussos discuss the subject at length.

Photoelectron spectroscopy involves the detection of the kinetic energies of photoelectrons emitted following an ionization event. If it is assumed that the emitted photoelectrons do not undergo any collisional event post-ionization, the kinetic energy of the detected electron should be equal to the binding energy of the orbital it was ejected from.

This article explores the history and applications of the spintronics field, and touches on its even more promising future.

Researchers have built a thermoelectric generator that generates electricity from the difference in temperature between the PV cell and the surrounding environment. This research has been published in Applied Physics Letters.

Published in the journal nanomaterials, a team of researchers has developed a small plasmonic pressure sensor that could help to advance nanophotonic devices.
