Researchers have looked at what limits the efficiency of a promising solar material to reveal the nature of multiple different kinds of defects, their varied roles in device efficiency and their ...
New GPU-accelerated modeling reveals the hidden mechanics behind graphene’s AB-BA transitions and the defects that freeze them in place. Study: Phase-Field Crystal Method for Bilayer Graphene. Image ...
The new model takes into account an important class of material defects (grain boundaries) and the tendency of the mixed solutes to gather—or segregate—around the structural imperfections during alloy ...
Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.
Hybrid perovskites are promising materials for the next generation of solar cells as they combine the benefits of both organic and inorganic materials. Currently, the efficiency of hybrid perovskite ...
