Discovery Unlocks ‘Hot’ Electrons
June 17, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Purdue University and University of Michigan researchers have now demonstrated how a technique using a scanning tunneling microscope integrated with lasers and other optical components reveals the energy distribution of ‘hot’ electrons. Highly energetic, “hot” electrons have the potential to help solar panels more efficiently harvest light energy. But up until now, scientists haven’t been […]
