Keywords: NIST Researchers Hear Puzzling New Physics from Graphene Quartet's Quantum Harmonies (5940498443).jpg This artist's rendition illustrates the electron energy levels in graphene as revealed by a unique NIST instrument Because of graphene's properties an electron in any given energy level the wide purple band comprises four quantum states the four rings called a quartet This quartet of levels split into different energies when immersed in a magnetic field The two smaller bands on the outermost ring represent the further splitting of a graphene electronic state See also http //www nist gov/public_affairs/releases/graphene_quartet cfm www nist gov/public_affairs/releases/graphene_quartet cfm Credit T Schindler and K Talbott/NIST Disclaimer Any mention of commercial products within NIST web pages is for information only; it does not imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST Use of NIST Information These World Wide Web pages are provided as a public service by the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST With the exception of material marked as copyrighted information presented on these pages is considered public information and may be distributed or copied Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested https //www flickr com/photos/usnistgov/5940498443/ NIST Researchers Hear Puzzling New Physics from Graphene Quartet's Quantum Harmonies 2010-09-08 15 12 https //www flickr com/people/63059536 N06 National Institute of Standards and Technology PD-USGov National Institute of Standards and Technology https //flickr com/photos/63059536 N06/5940498443 2016-09-07 02 34 39 United States Government Work Uncategorized 2016 December 20 |
