In our work, we eliminated the above-mentioned shortcomings of the theoretical part of the research carried out by the authors of ref (27): We are considering a supercell that has the periodicity that ...

Graphene is a two-dimensional material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure. Its properties include high strength and good conductivity of heat and ...

In addition, there is no intrinsic p-type doping technique for gallium oxide. Gallium oxide wafers are easier to produce versus GaN (Gallium Nitride) and SiC (silicon Carbide) substrates. But today, ...

Specifically, they used a rare-earth element called Praseodymium and an Yttrium oxide crystal, but the process they reported could be used with a variety of materials, taking advantage of rare ...

One notable type is the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). SNSPDs utilize ultra-thin superconducting wires that quickly transition from a superconducting state to a resistive ...

Graphene, also known as the wonder material, continues to surprise scientists. This time, it has revealed new quantum states. A team of researchers has found peculiar topological electronic ...

Scientists found a new quantum state in twisted graphene, where electrons lock in place but still conduct current along edges. This topological breakthrough may lead to advances in quantum computing.
