Synthesized Nanoresonators Harness Power of IR for Optics and Electronics
STANFORD, Calif., Nov. 1, 2023 — When combined with electronics, infrared (IR) light can enable small, fast devices for sensing, imaging, and signaling at the molecular level. To fully harness the advantages of IR light, the materials used for IR optical and optoelectronic applications require defect-free crystallinity. To make high-quality crystals that resonate strongly with IR light, researchers at Stanford University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) developed a bottom-up, self-assembly approach to
