Alloying Materials with Varied Crystal Structures to Produce New Semiconductors

Whether it is smaller computer chips or better solar panels, new technologies demand advanced semiconductors. The existing standard approach used for fabricating semiconductor alloys incorporates materials with similar crystal structures and mostly results in materials that are poorly mixed. That is, the materials are vulnerable to composition fluctuations.
