Valley current control shows way to ultra-low-power devices
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 20, 2015 - University of Tokyo researchers have demonstrated an electrically-controllable valley current device that may pave the way to ultra-low-power "valleytronics" devices. On the atomic scale, matter behaves as both a particle and a wave. Electrons, therefore, have an associated wavelength that usually can have many different values. In crystalline systems however, certain wavelengths may be fa ... more
