Highlights with ‘semiconductors’

Discuss your Materials Research Challenges at TMS2024

Come and talk about your materials challenges with Nicolas at the TMS meeting in Orlando. He would be happy to discuss how simulations could accelerate your discovery of new materials or optimize your processes. Exhibit...

Discuss your Materials Research Challenges at the MRS Fall Meeting

Come and talk about your materials challenges with Fedor and Nicolas at the MRS while enjoying a Dutch caramel waffle, stroopwafel, at booth 719 at the MRS exhibition. We love to discuss how we can...

Strategic partnership Kebotix and SCM to accelerate materials innovation

To boost our materials discovery solutions, we join forces with Kebotix, experts in secure, scalable, AI-accelerated workflows (press release). SCM and Kebotix are developing an integrated software platform to enable researchers to develop new and...

Excitons with a twist: 2D optoelectronics

A recent experimental and theoretical study uncovers the effect of twisting layers in van der Waals heterostructures. Exciton transport in heterobilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs, MXenes) is found to be modulated by the twist...

2Exciting: ITN on 2D optoelectronics

2Exciting is a new MSCA-ITN-ETN European Training Network on two-dimensional semiconductors and their optoelectronic properties – it has just been selected for funding by the EU. The consortium includes universities and small companies across 10...

New single-layer 2D Covalent Organic Framework discovered: TANG-COF

The discovery of ballistic charge transport in graphene ignited the quest for two-dimensional (2D) materials and they are now used in various applications, such as electronics and materials science. In particular, 2D π-conjugated covalent organic...

Accurate optical spectra of semi-conductors and insulators

Our BAND developers in Toulouse published a simple yet accurate method to obtain accurate optical spectra for semi-conductors and insulators. In a recent Phys. Rev. B paper they combine time-dependent DFT with the dynamical Polarization...

Analyzing bonding interactions of molecules on surfaces: Paper & Tutorial

A recent review paper on periodic energy decomposition analysis (pEDA) by Lisa Pecher & Ralf Tonner was widely covered in the media (HLRS, CMFE, EurekAlert). The pEDA calculations enable deep insight in molecule-surface interactions, which...
