A trick of light: UC Irvine researchers turn silicon into direct bandgap semiconductor

Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have enabled the manufacturing of ultrathin silicon solar cells that could help spread the energy-converting technology to a vast range of applications.

They confined photons on sub-3-nanometer asperities near the bulk semiconductor, granting light a novel property expanded momentum that opens new interaction pathways between light and matter.

UC Irvine is ranked among the nation’s top 10 public universities by U.S. News & World Report .

The campus has produced five Nobel laureates and is known for its academic achievement, premier research, innovation and anteater mascot.

Radio programs/stations may use an on-campus studio with a Comrex IP audio codec to interview UC Irvine faculty and experts.
