Abstract
Semionic behaviour is demonstrated in certain ternary and multinary se miconductors, by following the effects of application of external elec tric fields at ambient temperature. We find that this can lead to stab le, local changes in their microchemical composition and, via resultin g changes in carrier concentration, in their electronic properties. Th us, actual device structures are embedded in the material. We summariz e these results and our understanding of the mechanisms involved.
