Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > New way to control electrical charge in 2D materials: Put a flake on it Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered how to locally add electrical charge to an atomically thin graphene device by layering flakes of another thin material, alpha-RuCl3, on top of it. Here, a layered device transfers electric charge.

Henriksen is the corresponding author of the new study, together with Ken Burch from Boston College. The second author of the study is Jesse Balgley, who is a graduate student in Henriksen’s laboratory at Washington University. Computational work and calculations were performed by Li Yang, professor of physics, and his graduate student Xiaobo Lu, both of whom are from Washington University and are the co-authors of the study. Physicists who investigate condensed matter focus much on alpha-RuCl 3 since they would like to leverage some of its antiferromagnetic properties for quantum spin liqu...
