Pulsed magnetic field instrument incorporating lasers enables 100 measurements per pulse
The University of Manchester, England, announces that a research team has developed a pulsed magnetic field instrument incorporating ultrafast lasers that enable 100 measurements per pulse, with the goal of facilitating rapid progress in semiconductor device development.
Striking semiconductors with light in the furnace could reduce defects
The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colo., report that its researchers have discovered that if light is shone on semiconductor alloys as they are fired in a furnace at high temperatures, the light generates extra electrons that could suppress the growth of defects.
