A Boston College team of researchers has developed an alternative means using a unique semi-metal that intrinsically generates direct current through the nonlinear mixing of the waves of light. Typically, light is converted to electricity by chemically altering a semiconductor to have a built-in electric field. The recently discovered Weyl semimetal delivers the largest intrinsic […]

A Better Form of Perovskite Found
October 23, 2018 | Leave a Comment
One useful property that so far has not been observed in perovskites is called “carrier multiplication”, an effect that makes materials much more efficient in converting light into electricity. Perovskites form a group of crystals that have many promising properties for applications in nano-technology. New research performed in collaboration between the University of Amsterdam (UA) […]
