What are Some Applications of Valence Band Engineering?
Valence band engineering is a critical aspect of designing nanomaterials for specific applications. For example:
- In photovoltaic cells, optimizing the valence band structure can improve light absorption and increase efficiency. - In semiconductor devices, tuning the valence band can enhance charge carrier mobility and reduce power loss. - In sensors, modifying the valence band can increase sensitivity to external stimuli such as light, heat, or chemicals.
