Researchers' 2D Waveguides Enable Dark Exciton Study
WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 28, 2024 — A team at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State University, has developed slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. NRL researchers also developed 3D electromagnetic models of the waveguides. The modeling results provide a toolkit for designing future 2D devices that use slab waveguides. The technology has applications in optoelectronics and enables the study of dark excitons. 2D materials are a class of materials which
