Researchers reveal that plasmons in boron-doped diamonds are driving advances in electronics, optics and quantum computing.

In contrast, p-type silicon is silicon doped with boron gas that turns it into a conductive material that readily accepts electrons when voltage is applied. Boron has only three electrons in its ...

A sodium-doped, transition metal-free amorphous SiBN ceramic, composed of silicon (Si), boron (B), and nitrogen (N), was designed for small molecule activation and catalysis. The strategic ...

The modified material was then exposed to flowing ammonia at 1000 °C, which resulted in sodium-doped amorphous silicon-boron-nitride (Na-doped SiBN). Using cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques ...

So manufacturers beef up or "dope" the cell's two silicon layers with trace amounts of additives, typically phosphorus and boron. The top, phosphorus-doped layer contains more electrons ...

As the relentless drive for ever-faster computer chips approaches fundamental physical limits to the performance of silicon-based electronics ... in nanomachines. A boron bullet to target cancer ...

[Zachary Tong] is dipping his toes into the DIY semiconductor world, and further to the goal of keeping costs to a hobbyist scale, is experimenting with laser doping of silicon. Doping is the ...

Boron-doped diamonds can generate plasmons, paving the way for their use in advanced biosensors and optical devices at the nanoscale. Diamonds are also excellent heat conductors, known for their ...
