(Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new strategy to significantly boost the sensitivity of graphene-based sensors that detect molecules using Raman spectroscopy. By modulating the graphene's ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has become a highly prized material in electronics applications owing to its unusual electronic structure. 1 Although graphene is only composed of carbon atoms, ...

A hybrid graphene and molybdenum trioxide crystal allows real time electrical tuning of Bloch modes and light emission, ...

The band structure of a representative three-dimensional solid (left) is parabolic, with a band gap between the lower-energy valence band and the higher-energy conduction band. The energy bands of two ...

The bandstructure in a double layer of graphene was scanned by ARPES at synchrotron light source BESSY II. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have developed a concept to induce and directly quantify spin splitting in two-dimensional materials. By using this concept, they have experimentally ...
