Probing quantum phenomena in a tiny transistor

Thursday, July 7, 2016 - 14:31 in Physics & Chemistry

Nearly 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, nanowires can only be understood with quantum mechanics. Using quantum models, physicists have figured out what drives the efficiency of a silicon-germanium (Si-Ge) core-shell nanowire transistor.
