This achievement is highly significant for the ongoing development of this cutting-edge technology. The breakthrough involved measuring the intersubband relaxation time of charge states in silicon-germanium SiGe structures on a picosecond scale. Experiments have also shown that it is possible to control and extend these times. As a result, this body of work - currently published in Physical Review Letters and supported by the Austrian Science Fund FWF - represents a major advance in the development of data processing based on optoelectronic chips. http://www.physorg.com/news158922775.html Physics Tue, 14 Apr 2009 10:13:47 EST news158922775 The hottest segment of the computer market right now is not fancy new Apple laptops or PC gaming machines.
