Who:
Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), affiliated with the Institute for Basic Science’s (IBS) Center for Artificial Low Dimensional Electronic Systems (CALDES)
What:
Tunable band gap in black phosphorus, effectively modifying the semiconducting material into a unique state of matter with anisotropic dispersion.
Where:
This research outcome potentially allows for great flexibility in the design and optimization of electronic and optoelectronic devices like solar panels and telecommunication lasers.
When:
Potentially be applied to several sectors including engineering where electrical engineers can adjust the band gap and create devises with the exact behavior desired.
