Research team succeeds in ultra-fast switching of tiny light source
Intense light pulses in the terahertz range separate the charged, emissive trions into individual electrons and neutral excitons. Credit: Giuseppe Meneghini Ultrathin materials consisting of just a few atomic layers hold promise for applications in electronics and quantum technology. An international team led by the Technical University of Dresden has made remarkable progress in experiments carried out at the Helmholtz…
