The ability to tune band gaps has numerous applications:
Solar Cells: Band gap tuning can optimize the absorption spectrum of solar cells, improving their efficiency. LEDs: Customizing the band gap allows for the creation of LEDs that emit specific wavelengths of light. Transistors: In nanotransistors, band gap engineering can enhance performance and reduce power consumption. Sensors: Tuning the band gap can improve the sensitivity and selectivity of nanosensors.
