Title: Liquid semiconductor-halogen based electronics

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a device includes a first electrode, a second electrode spaced from the first electrode, a well extending between the first electrode and the second electrode, one or more chalcogens in the well, and at least one halogen mixed with the one or more chalcogens in the well. In addition, the chalcogens are selected from the group consisting of sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.
