Energy flow in semiconductors: new insights thanks to ultrafast spectroscopy
In this video from the Swiss Nanoscience Institute, Dr. Begoña Abad Mayor and Dr. Grazia Raciti from the Phononics group at the University of Basel explain why our electronic devices get so hot — modern electronics pack millions of tiny transistors into super-small spaces, and at that scale, heat becomes a real problem.
For the first time and with unprecedented accuracy, the team of BQC Prof. Dr. Ilaria Zardo has observed unique energy flow mechanisms in a semiconductor material following excitation by extremely short laser pulses. Gaining a better understanding of these energy flow is vital for improving the efficiency of electronic devices and computer chips.
