Researchers find new material with significant potential for electronics applications. The photo shows Dr. Venturini ( left ), Prof. Nilges and first author Anna Vogel in front of a measuring device for determining crystal structures. Diodes allow directed flows of current. Without them, modern electronics would be inconceivable. Until now, they had to be made out of two materials with different characteristics. A research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now discovered a material that makes it possible to create a diode with a simple change in temperature. Manufacturing a diode generally involves combining two semiconducting materials with different properties.
