Engineers at Columbia University and theoretical collaborators at the Max Planck for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have found that pairing laser light to crystal lattice vibrations can ...

Now they've seen precisely how the atoms move when the 2D materials are excited with ... Perovskites are layered materials that have well-ordered crystal lattices. They are highly efficient ...

Our optical lattice has the exact same geometry as the ... this layer is a 2D material. In a 2D crystal, the atoms and electrons are confined to this plane because moving off it would mean exiting ...

Now, with the isolation of germanene in 2014, individual layers of germanium are among the 2D materials touted alongside graphene. While graphene’s famous hexagonal crystal structure is flat, ...

A new material called glafene, created from graphene and quartz glass, is characterized by unique electronic behavior and ...

Finally, they compared the 2D coupling with those seen in square ... form of the coupled wave equations for unit cells in the crystal lattice, which can further aid the experimental design of ...

Implanted helium ions precipitate spontaneously into nanoscale helium platelets when the available vacancies are negligible in the lattice where the helium atoms are confined in a 2D structure. The ...

To measure the magnetism in their 2D samples Maletinsky and colleagues measured the spin levels of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond, where a nitrogen atom substitutes a carbon atom in the ...

This technique enables the direct growth of wafer-scale single-crystal 2D semiconductors on various ... development and the ...
