Krypton ions have been used to tweak the properties of β-Ga2O3/4H-SiC materials. This process is called defect engineering. It's like giving these materials a superpower boost. The goal is to make solar-blind photodetectors work better. These are sensors that can detect ultraviolet light but ignore
