heterostructured
Heterostructured refers to a material or device composed of two or more distinct materials joined together at an interface. These constituent materials possess different properties, such as their chemical composition, crystal structure, electronic band structure, or lattice constants. The key characteristic of a heterostructure is the deliberate engineering of this interface to achieve novel functionalities or enhanced performance compared to the individual constituent materials.
The formation of heterostructures can be achieved through various fabrication techniques, including epitaxial growth, chemical vapor
Heterostructures are fundamental building blocks in many advanced technological applications. In electronics, they are crucial for
