Controlling Inelastic Scattering in Graphene
Scientists directly observed quantum interference in graphene and figured out how to control the pathways by creating tiny ion-gel gates on doped graphene.
Feng Wang stands beside a diagram showing how lowering the Fermi energy eliminates quantum pathways in graphene.
Graphene—carbon in its two-dimensional form, just one atom thick—has attracted intense interest from researchers because of its potential applications in nanoscience. In another step toward understanding the material’s properties, a team from Berkeley, Calif. (U.S.A.), has figured out how to control the quantum pathways of inelastic light scattering.
