Silicon (Si) based microelectronics, that had revolutionized electronics, computing and communications, has reached its limits and researchers are exploring various technologies to replace silicon, that can satisfy humanity’s need for faster, smaller, greener and more powerful computers. One of class of materials, that are being explored are Phase-change materials (or …

Metallic glasses are new type of glass that are  extremely strong, hard, and resistant to wear and corrosion, all of which make them good potential candidates for engineering uses, including electronics casings, and medical uses such as surgical pins and stents. Metallic glass can withstand heavy impacts without deforming – even when …

Black phosphorous, named for its distinctive color, is a natural semiconductor with an energy bandgap, and highly promising material for electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices. Also called phosphorene as It belongs to class of two-dimensional crystals including graphene, boron nitride and molybdenum disulphide. A band gap is an energy band in …
