Brief laser burst makes crystals with photoconductive qualities Metal Tech News - January 31, 2024
EPFL researchers turned tellurite glass, a glass that has tellurium as part of the production process, into a "transparent" light-energy harvester by etching semiconductive patterns into it with a FS laser.
In a discovery that is approaching an "alchemist's dream", a team of scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne and Tokyo Tech has transformed glass into a light-powered semiconductor that could be the window into future clean energy generation.
Interested in the behavior of atoms in tellurite glass when exposed to ultrafast bursts of high-energy laser light, the researcher...
