Exploring phosphorene, a promising new material

Exploring phosphorene, a promising new material Troy NY (SPX) May 02, 2016 - Two-dimensional phosphane, a material known as phosphorene, has potential application as a material for semiconducting transistors in ever faster and more powerful computers. But there's a hitch. Many of the useful properties of this material, like its ability to conduct electrons, are anisotropic, meaning they vary depending on the orientation of the crystal. Now, a team including researc ... more
