superlattice [¦sü·pər′lad·əs] (electronics) A structure consisting of alternating layers of two different semiconductor materials, each several nanometers thick. (solid-state physics) An ordered arrangement of atoms in a solid solution which forms a lattice superimposed on the normal solid solution lattice. Also known as artificial crystal; artificially layered structure; superstructure. How to thank TFD for its existence?

To be published six times a year, it will cover properties of semiconductor, organic, inorganic and hybrid nanostructures, applications of superlattices and quantum structures, circuit and device integration, information processing and optical communications. Following this model, they laid down the materials in several hundred alternating layers, each just 1 or 2 nanometers thick, to form a superlattice. This program will develop superlattice coatings, which are nano-structures composed of alternating layers of dissimilar materials. |
