Types of Semiconductors

698
Intrinsic semiconductors are highly pure materials with no impurities. At absolute zero, these semiconductors behave as perfect insulators because all the valence electrons are bound, and the conduction band is empty, disallowing electrical conduction. The Fermi level is a concept used to describe the probability of occupancy of energy levels by electrons at thermal equilibrium. In intrinsic semiconductors, the Fermi level is positioned at the midpoint of the energy gap at absolute zero. When...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I03:24

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

47.5K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes03:08

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes

8.6K
In addition to the oxymercuration–demercuration method, which converts the alkenes to alcohols with Markovnikov orientation, a complementary hydroboration-oxidation method yields the anti-Markovnikov product. The hydroboration reaction, discovered in 1959 by H.C. Brown, involves the addition of a B–H bond of borane to an alkene giving an organoborane intermediate. The oxidation of this intermediate with basic hydrogen peroxide forms an alcohol.

Schottky Barrier Diode01:27

Schottky Barrier Diode

418
Schottky barrier diodes are specialized semiconductor devices characterized by their unique construction. This construction involves combining a metal layer with a moderately doped n-type semiconductor material. This combination leads to the formation of a Schottky barrier, a pivotal element that defines the diode's operational characteristics. The core functionality of Schottky barrier diodes is their capacity to allow current to flow in only one direction due to their distinctive...

P-N junction01:11

P-N junction

596
A p-n junction is formed when p-type and n-type semiconductor materials are joined together. At the interface of the p-n junction, holes from the p-side and electrons from the n-side begin to diffuse into the opposite sides due to the concentration gradient. This diffusion of carriers leads to a region around the junction where there are no free charge carriers, known as the depletion region. The charge density within the depletion region for the n-side and p-side can be described by the...

Bipolar Junction Transistor

843
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) are essential elements in electronic circuits, playing a crucial role in the functionality of amplifiers, memories, and microprocessors. These transistors can be designed as NPN or PNP based on their doping patterns. They consist of three layers: the emitter, base, and collector. The configuration of these layers and their respective doping levels—with N-type or P-type impurities—define the transistor's type and its operational...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer unique electronic and catalytic properties.
  • Boron-based compounds are promising for 2D material development due to polymorphism.
  • Rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) exhibits a layered structure and layer-dependent bandgap, similar to transition metal dichalcogenides.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally determine the charge carrier type in synthesized rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS).

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS).
  • Measurement of Seebeck coefficient to assess thermoelectric properties.
  • Photo-electrochemical response measurements to evaluate semiconductor behavior.
  • Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy to analyze phonon-electron interactions.

Main Results:

  • Both Seebeck coefficient and photo-electrochemical measurements consistently indicated that the synthesized r-BS is a p-type semiconductor.
  • A distinct Fano resonance was observed in infrared absorption spectroscopy.
  • The Fano resonance was attributed to the interaction between the E(2) (TO) phonon mode and charge carriers in the r-BS band structure.
  • This resonance provides evidence for intrinsic p-type doping in the synthesized r-BS.

Conclusions:

  • The synthesized r-BS material exhibits p-type semiconductor characteristics.
  • The observed Fano resonance confirms intrinsic doping and provides insight into the electronic structure of r-BS.
  • These findings highlight the potential of r-BS for future applications in electronics and catalysis.
