Atomic Architects

Atomic Architect has been developed for the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2018 (link: https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2018/summer-science-exhibition/exhibits/atomic-architects/).

Making light in Flatland

Let's make light with atomically-thin materials!

You are an electron, travelling on different two-dimensional layered materials. If you are able to meet a hole in a 2D semiconductor, you can create a particle of light (a photon)

Unfortunately, several obstacles complicate your path. You could encounter a phonon, a vibration among the atoms of the crystal that will randomly bounce you around and change your energy. Something similar will happen if you rush into an impurity. Scariest of all, you could fall into a charge trap, and never come back.

Are you up to the test? Will you win the challenge and create light?

ساخت نور در قسمت مسطح

بیایید نور با مواد اتمی نازک!

شما یک الکترون، سفر در مواد مختلف دو بعدی لایه بندی شده. اگر شما قادر به پاسخگویی به یک سوراخ در یک نیمه هادی 2D، شما می توانید یک ذره نور (فوتون) ایجاد

متاسفانه، با موانع متعددی را پیچیده مسیر شما. شما می توانید یک فونون، لرزش در میان اتم های کریستال که به صورت تصادفی شما را در سراسر گزاف گویی و تغییر انرژی خود را روبرو می شوند. چیزی شبیه می افتد اگر شما به یک ناخالصی عجله. ترسناک ترین از همه، شما می توانید به دام اتهام قرار می گیرند، و هرگز به عقب آمده است.

آیا شما تا به تست؟ آیا این چالش را به نفع خود و ایجاد نور؟
