Atomic Architects

Atomic Architect has been developed for the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2018 (link: https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2018/summer-science-exhibition/exhibits/atomic-architects/). Find out research and news about this work from the Quantum Photonics Lab (link: qpl.eps.hw.ac.uk) at Heriot-Watt University.

Making light in Flatland

Let's make light with atomically-thin materials!

You are an electron, travelling on different two-dimensional layered materials. If you are able to meet a hole in a 2D semiconductor, you can create a particle of light (a photon)

Unfortunately, several obstacles complicate your path. You could encounter a phonon, a vibration among the atoms of the crystal that will randomly bounce you around and change your energy. Something similar will happen if you rush into an impurity. Scariest of all, you could fall into a charge trap, and never come back.

Are you up to the test? Will you win the challenge and create light?

Atom Mimar Royal Society Yaz Bilim Sergisi 2018 (: https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2018/summer-science-exhibition/exhibits/atomic-architects/ link) için geliştirilmiştir. -Watt Üniversitesi'nde (qpl.eps.hw.ac.uk link) Kuantum Fotonik Laboratuarı bu iş hakkında araştırma ve haberleri öğrenin.

Düzülke'ye ışığı Yapımı

en atomik ince malzemelerle ışık yapalım!

Farklı iki boyutlu katmanlı malzemeler üzerinde yolculuk, bir elektron vardır. Bir 2B yarı iletken bir delik yerine getirebilecek olan varsa, bir ışık parçacığı (foton) oluşturabilir

Ne yazık ki, birkaç engel senin yolunu zorlaştırıyor. Sen bir fonon rastgele etrafında çıkma ve enerji değişecek kristal atomları arasından bir titreşim karşılaşabilir. Eğer, bir yabancı madde acele eğer benzer bir şey olur. Hepsinden en korkunç, bir şarj tuzağına düşmek ve geri gelmek asla.

Eğer teste hazır mısınız? Eğer meydan kazanmak ve ışığı oluşturur mu?
