AbstractNon-technical description: The semiconductor technologies that pervade modern society work by transporting energy carriers like electrons and excitons from source to target. Carrier scattering with impurities and vibrations is the primary source of resistance in semiconductors, limiting the speed and efficiency of all electronic devices ranging from photovoltaics to computer chips. Rising needs for energy efficiency and computing power provide a strong impetus for identifying materials and proce
