A fast transparent p-type oxide semiconductor is possible, according to scientists in Australia who have turned theoretical tellurium materials into reality using a novel deposition process. Two-dimensional beta-tellurite is the semiconductor, deposited by rolling a bead of molten tellurium and selenium across the substrate. “This high-mobility p-type oxide fills a crucial gap in the materials ...
