  • Graphene generates current from light due to a hot-carrier response

    Updated: 2011-10-09 09:53:00
    Home Introduction Graphene generates current from light due to a hot-carrier response Tweet Graphene applications Technical Research It's been known for a long time that Graphene generates current from light . Up until now everybody assumed it was due to the photovoltaic effect , but a new research by MIT researchers shows that this is not true . They found that light on graphene causes it to develop two regions with different electrical properties which creates a temperature . difference This hot-carrier response is what generates the current and it's very unusual it's been observed before but only under very low temperature or when using intense high power laser . The reason for this unusual thermal response is that graphene is the strongest material known . In most materials ,

  • Rare-earth minerals show strong electronic interaction with Graphene

    Updated: 2011-10-04 01:03:18
    Home Introduction Rare-earth minerals show strong electronic interaction with Graphene Tweet Graphene applications Technical Research Researchers from the US Ames Laboratory discovered that rare-earth minerals dysprosium and gadolinium react strongly with graphene , while lead does not . The researchers deposited a few atoms of each material on graphene , which then started to move on their own self-assembly to form islands on the graphene . The lead atoms moved quickly when cooled down , while the dysprosium moved slowly , even when heated . up The fact that lead moved quickly means that it does not have a strong interaction with the graphene sheet . The rare-earth atoms does have a strong inteaction they act like tiny magnets . It turns our that these tiny islands are good nanomagnets .
