Washington, DC--Germanium may not be a household name like silicon, its group-mate on the periodic table, but it has great potential for use in next-generation electronics and energy technology. Of ...

Germanium telluride (GeTe) is known as a ferrolectric Rashba semiconductor with a number of interesting properties. The crystals consist of nanodomains, whose ferrolectric polarization can be switched ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become ...

Germanium Telluride is an interesting candidate material for spintronic devices. In a comprehensive study at BESSY II, a research group has now revealed how the spin texture switches by ferroelectric ...
