How Can Band Structure Be Tuned in Nanomaterials?

Tuning the band structure of nanomaterials can be achieved through several methods, such as doping, strain engineering, and the use of heterostructures. Doping involves introducing impurities to change the carrier concentration and modify the band gap. Strain engineering applies mechanical deformation to alter the electronic properties. Heterostructures, composed of different materials layered together, can create new electronic states and band structures not present in the individual components.
