Photo-electrochemical Water Splitting for Hydrogen production

Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is a key component of clean fuel and chemical synthesis from solar energy. One of the approaches to produce Hydrogen at low cost is to couple together...

Processing and characterizations for Silicon Carbide power devices

Owing to its superior electrical properties, such as a wide band gap (3.2 eV) and a high critical electric field (3MV/cm), Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) is now considered the...

Gallium Nitride processing for high-power and high-frequency devices

Gallium Nitride (GaN) and its related AlxGa1-xN ternary alloys have excellent properties (like a wide band gap, a high critical electric field and a high electron saturation...

SiC based sensor for UV radiation and low energy ions detection for healthcare, environmental, and nuclear physics applications

Monitoring of UV radiation and of its components UV-A and UV-B is of great interest for human healthcare. In past years we realised  visible blinde 4H-SiC UV detectors  based on...
