Conventional silicon solar cells degrade rapidly in space, and gallium arsenide cells are heavy and inflexible. Research from ...

Gallium has three (III) valence electrons, while nitride and arsenide have five (V). Providing high electron mobility, III-V semiconductors are used in high-frequency and high-power applications ...

Environmental systems scientist at the University of Delaware. Gallium metal has the unusual property of melting at room temperature and is often used as a curiosity prop in chemistry exhibitions.

The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level ... such as phosphorus. Phosphorus has five electrons in its outer ...

A group of scientists led by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain has fabricated an intermediate band (IB) solar cell based on gallium phosphide ... filled with electrons within the ...

University of Michigan researchers study on radiation testing shows that solar cells from carbon-based materials.

Electronics designers are moving away from conventional Si-based power electronics and towards wide-bandgap solutions.
