Foreword: Focus on Superconductivity in Semiconductors

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2008
Since the discovery of superconductivity in diamond, much attention has been given to the issue of superconductivity in semiconductors. Because diamond has a large band gap of 5.5 eV, it is called a wide-gap semiconductor.

Superimposed Sacrificial Texturing to Enhance the Optical Performance in Thin‐Film Solar Cells

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 465-481, April 2026.
Sacrificial texturing method using controlled etching of undoped zinc oxide and indium‐doped tin oxide generates microscale and nanoscale textures on glass. Roughness on two different scales is superimposed to create a new texture capable of broad‐spectrum scattering, which is utilised in thin‐film silicon solar cells to enhance optical performance ...

Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon Carbide Interlayers: Chemical, Optical, and Tribological Behavior for Improving Adhesion of Carbon‐Based Films to Ferrous Alloy

open access: yesSurface and Interface Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 246-261, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Diamond‐like carbon thin films have been gaining attention in the last years due to their unique properties, such as low friction coefficient and high wear resistance. However, the lack of adhesion between DLC coatings and ferrous alloys complicates their wider industrial application.

Superconductivity in diamond, electron–phonon interaction and the zero-point renormalization of semiconducting gaps

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2006
The superconductivity observed in boron-doped diamond is discussed from the point of view of the phonon-driven BCS theory. It is shown that electron–phonon interaction is particularly strong in diamond.

Traces of Elements in the Electrochemical Reductive Amination of Acetone: Uncovering Bi as Substitute for Pb

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 13, 23 March 2026.
This study investigates the impact of various p‐block element impurities in the electrochemical reductive amination and reveals with Bi a less toxic alternative for Pb. The utilization of Bi as additive was further optimized by studying the impact of additive concentration, reaction temperature, and cathode material on amine yield, offering new ...

Enhanced CO Selectivity in CO2 Electroreduction on Pyrazole‐Modified Boron‐Doped Diamond Electrodes

open access: yesChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 6, 17 March 2026.
Electrochemical CO2 reduction is demonstrated using molecularly modified boron‐doped diamond electrodes. Pyrazole modification doubles the CO selectivity compared to the previous aniline‐modified surface. This enhancement arises from the synergistic effect of the adjacent nitrogen atoms in pyrazole, which provides both high nucleophilicity for CO2 ...
