Cover Story: The use of earth-abundant, non-toxic, and low-cost semiconductors on cheap substrates for the realization of electronic devices is becoming increasingly important due to the scarcity of elements such as In, Ga, etc. I-VII γ-cuprous halides such as CuCl, CuBr, and CuI are p-type semiconductors with a zinc blende crystal structure and direct band-gaps of ⁓3.0 eV that are optically transparent, capable of light emission, and also have lattice constants close to that of Si. On the other hand, Cu3N has been described as a defect-tolerant semiconductor that is attractive for energy conversion and storage. Here, it is shown that γ-CuI may be obtained from Cu3N at room temperature by exposure to iodine, which in turn allows the fabrication of p–n heterojunction diodes directly on glass which exhibit rectifying current–voltage characteristics.

Passive Intermodulation at Contacts of Rough Conductors

  • Amir Dayan,
  • Yi Huang and
  • Alex Schuchinsky

Passive intermodulation (PIM) is a niggling phenomenon that debilitates the performance of modern communications and navigation systems. PIM products interfere with information signals and cause their nonlinear distortion. The sources and basic mecha...
