Electron-phonon interactions—collisions between charge-carrying electrons and heat-carrying vibrations in the atomic lattice of the material—are considered the primary cause of electrons slowing down ...

What’s long been seen as a hindrance to electrical conduction in semiconductors may actually be an asset, at least in two-dimensional materials. The research team found that in atomically thin ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings ...
