ENG-SEMICON: Ferrimagnetic / Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures for Efficien — NSF Award to University of South Flor

Non-technical: The light emitting diode (LED) is a crucial opto-electronic device which has transformed modern lighting technology as well as high- speed communications based on optical-fibers. In standard LEDs, electrons and the absence of electrons, termed holes, are injected from metallic contacts into opposite ends

AbstractNon-technical: The light emitting diode (LED) is a crucial opto-electronic device which has transformed modern lighting technology as well as high- speed communications based on optical-fibers. In standard LEDs, electrons and the absence of electrons, termed holes, are injected from metallic contacts into opposite ends of a semiconductor junction, where they recombine to generate a photon. The recombination process, and hence the light intensity, can be quickly modulated for information encoding
