In modern telecommunications, light carries digital information over kilometers within seconds. Adapted optical materials control the light signals. Researchers now have a new method to produce ...

Dutch researcher Michiel Blauw has described the physical limitations of the plasma-etching of deep, narrow microstructures in silicon. His results have led to such an improvement in the etching ...

If the epicenter of the electronics revolution is named after the material that made it possible—silicon?— then the birthplace of the photonics revolution may well be named after lithium niobate.

Gallium nitride (GaN)-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have transformed the lighting industry by replacing conventional lighting technologies with superior energy efficiency, longer operating life ...

In modern telecommunications, light carries digital information over kilometers within seconds. Adapted optical materials con-trol the light signals. In the AFM journal, researchers from Ber-lin, ...

Topological insulators have shot to fame in recent years following observations of exotic phenomena like the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect in quantum wells made from mercury telluride (HgTe). However ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

In this webinar the fundamentals of electrolytic polishing and etching are illustrated with examples of common materialographic microstructures and applications. In this regard, we introduce the QATM ...

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the trend toward miniaturization of LEDs, driven by display devices, augmented reality, virtual reality, and other emerging technologies. Due ...
