semikonduktorite
Semikonduktorite is a term used in materials science to denote a class of synthetic inorganic semiconductors designed to exhibit tunable electronic and optical properties. It is not a single chemical compound but a family of compositions that share semiconductor behavior and, in many variants, layered or quasi-two-dimensional structures. The name is used across theoretical and experimental discussions to explore alternatives to traditional semiconductors for optoelectronic applications.
Crystal structure and composition commonly involve layered arrangements with metal cations and chalcogen or halide anions.
Electronic and optical properties are tunable through composition, thickness, and defect engineering. Band gaps can span
Synthesis methods include chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, and solution-based routes. Process conditions such as
Applications envisioned for semikonduktorite families include photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and flexible electronics. Research focuses on
