Holes Outperform Electrons in Group IV Semiconductor Materials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A record‐high mobility of holes, reaching 4.3 × 106 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 300 mK in an epitaxial strained germanium (s‐Ge) semiconductor, grown on a standard silicon wafer, is reported. This major breakthrough is achieved due to the development of state‐of‐the‐art epitaxial growth technology culminating in superior monocrystalline quality of the s‐Ge material platform with a very low density of background impurities and other imperfections. As a consequence, the hole mobility in s‐Ge appears to be ≈2 times higher than the highest electron mobility in strained silicon. In addition to the record mobility, this material platform reveals a unique combination of properties, which are a very large and tuneable effective g*‐factor (>18), a very low percolation density (5 × 109 cm−2) and a small effective mass (0.054 m 0). This long‐sought combination of parameters in one material system is important for the research and development of low‐temperature electronics with reduced Joule heating and for quantum‐electronics circuits based on spin qubits.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
