Rice University researchers are doping graphene with light
in a way that could lead to the more efficient design and manufacture of
electronics, as well as novel security and cryptography devices.
Manufacturers chemically dope silicon to adjust its
semiconducting properties. But the breakthrough reported in the American
Chemical Society journal ACS Nano details a novel concept: plasmon-induced
doping of graphene, the ultrastrong, highly conductive, single-atom-thick form
of carbon.
