Shifting dimensions: Exciting excitons in phosphorene
(PHYSorg.com Physics)
 


Since its discovery in 2014, phosphorene-a sheet of phosphorus atoms only a single atom thick-has intrigued scientists due to its unique optoelectronic anisotropy. In other words, electrons interact with light and move in one direction only. This anisotropy means that despite being two dimensional (2-D), phosphorene shows a mix of properties found in both one-dimensional (1-D) and 2-D materials. Scientists believe that the distinct quasi-1-D nature of phosphorene could be exploited to develop new, innovative optoelectronic devices, from LEDs to solar cells.
