Nano 'Sandwich' Could Enhance Optical Properties, Tunability of Graphene

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Use of a “nanoscale sandwich,” made from two-atom-thick slices of graphene around nanoclusters of magnesium oxide (MgO), could expand the optoelectronic properties for graphene. Researchers at Rice University, using previous experiments on hybrid materials as a reference point, applied high-level first-principle calculations to their exploration of the electronic and optical properties of mono- and double-layer graphene encapsulating MgO clusters. The researchers correlated the stability of adsorption, geometry, charge transfer, band structures, the optical absorption...Read full article

    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
