New way to control particle motions on 2-D materials

New way to control particle motions on 2-D materials Boston MA (SPX) Mar 24, 2016 - Researchers at MIT and other institutions have found a new phenomenon in the behavior of a kind of quasiparticles called plasmons as they move along tiny ribbons of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and TMDs (transition metal dichalcogenides), which have a hexagonal structure resembling chicken wire. The team found that these plasmons can be separated into two different streams moving i ... more
