Two-dimensional electron liquids

TIME AND SPACE
Two-dimensional electron liquids
College Park MD (SPX) Sep 11, 2014 - Truly two-dimensional objects are rare. Even a thin piece of paper is trillions of atoms thick. When physicists do succeed in producing 2D systems, quantum interactions can lead to new phenomena and Nobel prizes. Two examples: graphene - single-atom-thick sheets of carbon atoms - has unique mechanical, electrical, and optical properties; and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) - planar c ... more
