The researchers produced defective cuprous iodide films
According to foreign media reports, a fault-free film of cuprous iodide composed of a crystal has been created by physicists at RIKEN. Atomic planar samples are the driving force behind better semiconductors. Semiconductors are at the heart of many optoelectronic devices, including lasers and light-emitting diodes (leds). Engineers hope to use cuprous iodide in semiconductors because it is an excellent conductor that remains stable above room temperature. The problem is that it is difficult to make a film of cuprous [...]
