The direct-to-indirect band gap crossover in two-dimensional van der Waals Indium Selenide crystals (2016)
Journal Article
Mudd, G., Molas, M., Chen, X., Zólyomi, V., Nogajewski, K., Kudrynskyi, Z. R., …Patanè, A. (2016). The direct-to-indirect band gap crossover in two-dimensional van der Waals Indium Selenide crystals. Scientific Reports, 6(1), Article 39619. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep39619

The electronic band structure of van der Waals (vdW) layered crystals has properties that depend on the composition, thickness and stacking of the component layers. Here we use density functional theory and high field magneto-optics to investigate th...

Highly-mismatched InAs/InSe heterojunction diodes (2016)
Journal Article
Velichko, A., Kudrynskyi, Z. R., Di Paola, D., Makarovsky, O., Kesaria, M., Krier, A., …Patanè, A. (in press). Highly-mismatched InAs/InSe heterojunction diodes. Applied Physics Letters, 109(18), Article 182115. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4967381

We report on heterojunction diodes prepared by exfoliation and direct mechanical transfer of a p-type InSe thin film onto an n-type InAs epilayer. We show that despite the different crystal structures and large lattice mismatch (34%) of the component... Read More about Highly-mismatched InAs/InSe heterojunction diodes.

Resonant Zener tunnelling via zero-dimensional states in a narrow gap diode (2016)
Journal Article
Di Poala, D. M., Kesaria, M., Makarovsky, O., Velichko, A., Eaves, L., Mori, N., …Patanè, A. (in press). Resonant Zener tunnelling via zero-dimensional states in a narrow gap diode. Scientific Reports, 6, Article e32039. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32039

Interband tunnelling of carriers through a forbidden energy gap, known as Zener tunnelling, is a phenomenon of fundamental and technological interest. Its experimental observation in the Esaki p-n semiconductor diode has led to the first demonstratio... Read More about Resonant Zener tunnelling via zero-dimensional states in a narrow gap diode.
