Until recently, the existence of 'blue' phosphorus was pure theory. Now, an HZB team has examined samples of blue phosphorus at BESSY II for the first time and mapped their electronic band structure. They report that it represents an exotic phosphorus modification. Blue phosphorus is an interesting candidate for new optoelectronic devices.
