    Precision Electron Steering in Graphene with Ultrafast Pulses

    Overview In a breakthrough study from Kiel University, researchers demonstrate a new way to control electrons in graphene using ultrashort laser pulses. For the first time, Dr. Jan-Philip Joost and Professor Michael Bonitz show that light pulses can induce electrons at highly specific locations within graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon. By simulating laser interactions…

    Precision Electron Steering in Graphene with Ultrashort Laser Pulses

    A breakthrough in homogeneous graphene Researchers at Kiel University have reported a surprising, previously unknown effect in graphene. For the first time, they demonstrated that light pulses can generate electrons at specific, designated locations within a material made from a single element—carbon. Dr. Jan-Philip Joost and Professor Michael Bonitz used computer simulations of small graphene…
