Scientists hope that carbon may make a more efficient band - gap
material — a
material that excludes light
of certain wavelengths and is therefore the photonic counterpart
of a semiconductor — in future
optoelectronics applications.
Prof Frank Koppens (ICFO, Spain), leader
of Work Package 8 —
Optoelectronics and Photonics, adds «Electrically driven single photon sources are essential for many
applications, and this first realisation with layered
materials is a real milestone.
«One
of our strategies is to find ways to use these
materials, developed for the printed electronics industry, in
applications other than electronics and
optoelectronics.
