Physicists control light scattering in graphene

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 - 14:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California, Berkeley have learned to control the quantum pathways determining how light scatters in graphene. Controlled scattering provides a new tool for the study of this unique material – graphene is a single sheet of carbon just one atom thick – and may point to practical applications for controlling light and electronic states in graphene nanodevices.
