Physics - Coffee, Donuts, and Semiconductors
Coffee, Donuts, and Semiconductors Physics 14, 61 During the Semiconductors for Breakfast meeting, researchers woke up to talks on light-emitting nanorods and hairy cavities. E. Fadaly/Eindhoven University of Technology Recent work shows that nanorods of silicon-germanium can emit light, unlike pure silicon crystals. Researchers grew these semiconductor materials with the necessary hexagonal crystal structure by seeding them on hexagonally shaped nanowires. E.
