Sentence examples for behave as a semiconductor from inspiring English sources

When graphene is sandwiched between layers of boron nitride (BN), an atomically-thin electrical insulator, and the two materials are rotationally aligned, the BN has been shown to modify the electronic structure of the graphene, creating a band gap that allows the material to behave as a semiconductor – that is, both as an electrical conductor and an insulator.

But it has proven difficult to make it behave as a semiconductor like silicon, or to attach "contacts" to the sheets.

At higher temperature, PGT behaves as a semiconductor.

Carbon is brittle, and behaves as a semiconductor in a direction perpendicular to its planes.

It behaves as a semiconductor (with a band gap of 0.08 eV), but has the electronic band structure of a semimetal.

Our main finding is that substitution of Mn, Fe, and Co for Zn leads to drastic transformations of electronic and magnetic properties of the parent material: as distinct from the non-magnetic YZnAsO, the examined doped phases Y Zn0.89Mn0.11AsO, Y Zn0.89Fe0.11AsO, and Y Zn0.89Co0.11AsO behave as a magnetic semiconductor, a magnetic half-metal or as a magnetic gapless semi-metal, respectively.

The nanoparticles have been considered as semiconductor quantum dots which behave as a four-level quantum system and are driven by a single coherent laser field.

This latter condition reflects the fact that the oxide region is assumed to behave as a perfect insulator and prevents from simulating current injection from the semiconductor into the oxide region.

It can also behave as a supercapacitor3.

Actors often talk about "keeping it real", trying to behave as a character would behave.
