The bandwidth we currently use for wireless data transfer will soon be full. If we are to continue transmitting ever-increasing amounts of data, the available bandwidth must be increased by bringing further frequencies into use. Since molecules in the atmosphere adsorb electromagnetic radiation<\/a> at certain frequencies, new bandwidth can only be explored at very high frequencies. To create electromagnetic signals of such high frequencies, transistors where electrons can be set in motion at those frequencies are needed. Such transistors must be made of semiconductor materials, within which it is very easy for electrons to move. Indium nitride stands out as a semiconductor material highly suited for such high frequency transistors.<\/p>\n \u201cSince electrons move through indium nitride extremely easily, it is possible to send electrons backwards and forwards through the material at very high speeds and create signals with extremely high frequencies. This means that indium nitride can be used in high-frequency electronics, where it can provide, for example, new frequencies for wireless data transfer,\u201d says Henrik Pedersen, a professor of inorganic chemistry at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology<\/a> at Link\u00f6ping University. He has led a recent study on making very thin layers of indium nitride, which was recently published in Chemistry of Materials.<\/p>\n
