On the periodic table, semiconductors (also known as metalloids) crop up along a diagonal line between conductors and insulators. Noble gases such as helium and neon are poor conductors of ...

The firm said that the industry needs to look further into the periodic table and to untried elements for the answers to the development of Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and Atomic ...

Swiss scientists have created the first semiconductor laser consisting solely of elements of main group IV (the carbon group) on the periodic table. Simply, this means that the new device is ...

Scientists have developed the first electrically pumped continuous-wave semiconductor laser composed exclusively of elements from the fourth group of the periodic table -- the 'silicon group'.

Atomic symbol (on the periodic table of elements): Ge; Atomic weight (average mass of the atom): 72.630; Density: 3.077 ounces per cubic inch (5.323 grams per cubic cm) Phase at room temperature ...

II-VI semiconductor compounds comprise of metallic elements of group II of the periodic table (e.g. Cd, Zn, and Hg) and non-metallic elements of group VI (e.g. O, S, Se, and Te).
