Inexpensive material compresses light, paving the way for photonic microcircuits in the terahertz range - Phys.org

By José Tadeu Arantes

A two-dimensional lamellar crystal composed of atomically thin layers of lead iodide (PbI2) could be used to manufacture a new generation of circuits that use light and mechanical vibrations (rather than electrons) to transmit information in the terahertz fre…
