Carbon spheres are used as templates to prepare semiconductor hollow spheres of Ga2O3 (depicted) and GaN. The thickness and uniformity of the final products are predetermined by the thickness of the active layer of the carbon spheres. The diameter of the spheres can be adjusted in the range of 100 nm to 1.5 μm, which covers the band gaps in the spectral regime from UV to near infrared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
