Spin hybrids emitting chiral light

A new type of two-dimensional material that emits chiral light has been created by scientists at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, and the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The material with unique properties promises to improve information density in optical communication and enhance the polarization sensitivity of optical-electronic devices, displays, and sensors, which are required for next-generation computers. The experts published the study in the journal ACS Nano.

The results of this promising research were posted at the main website of Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University as the press release: Hybrid 2D Material Promises Improvements in Optical Devices and Quantum Computers (website, published March 29, 2023) and at the main website of the J.Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry (website). The news was also posted at the website of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University (website) and at the Czech online journal Chemagazín (link, in Czech).
