Increasing the efficiency of graphene-based Schottky-barrier devices

Shuo-En Wu; Ya-Ping Hsieh

Volume 10, Issue 2 , February 2019, , Pages 132-135

https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2019.2183

Abstract
  Graphene’s high carrier mobility and ambipolar nature has the potential to improve electronic devices. The absence of a band-gap necessitates heterostructure devices. Schottky-barrier devices consisting of an interface between graphene and a semiconductor represent the simplest heterostructure. ...  Read More

La-doped CH3NH3BaI3: A promising transparent conductor

Jiban Kangsabanik; Aftab Alam

Volume 8, Issue 4 , April 2017, , Pages 342-345

https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2017.1416

Abstract
  Hybrid perovskites (CH3NH3PbI3) is one of the most promising novel materials for solar harvesting. Toxicity of lead (Pb), however, has always remained a concern. We investigated the electronic structure of complete replacement of Pb by alkaline earths (Ca, Sr, Ba) and found them to be wide band gap (Eg) ...  Read More
