The graphene–semiconductor Schottky junction
Xinming Li,Hongwei Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: When a two-dimensional material abuts a three-dimensional one, a century-old electrical phenomenon finds new applicability as mentioned in this paper, where a twodimensional material is replaced by a 3D one.

A carbonaceous thin film made by CVD and its application for a carbon/N-type silicon (C/N-SI) photovoltaic cell
TL;DR: Carbon materials have found many applications in chemical, mechanical, biological, and electrical fields because of their superior properties as discussed by the authors, however, the carbon materials have not been used as yet as electronic materials in microelectronic devices.

Metal-insulator transition in highly disordered carbon fibers
K. Kuriyama,M. S. Dresselhaus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electronic transition from localized to delocalized states of carriers in a disordered carbon material is investigated by photoconductivity measurements, and the transition temperature was determined to be rather low, around 1000 °C, considering the rapid decrease in the photoconductivities above this temperature.

Heterojunction solar cells of SnO2/Si
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron affinity of the SnO2 films was shown to be approximately 0.8 eV greater than the electron affinities of the Si, which is consistent with the electron-hole recombination in the transition region.

Switching phenomena in amorphous carbon
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the switching with memory in carbon is a purely electronic phenomenon, and the switching effect in carbon was found to differ in many respect from that in glasses and semiconductors.
