• ITMO Scientists Suggest Way to Control Optical Properties of Novel 2D Materials in Low Temperatures

  We live in a world of portable blood glucose monitors, smart clothes, tiny sensors, and nanometer chips. All of that is not the limit, especially with the appearance of 2D materials based on dichalcogenides of transition metals. However, these materials are still hardly applicable in low temperatures. Read on to discover how researchers from ITMO have suggested this problem could be solved.

• Topological Polariton-Based Structure: Scientists Get One Step Closer to Next-Gen Optoelectronic Devices

  Researchers from ITMO University, the University of Sheffield, and the City College of New York have proposed a metasurface with unique topological properties. The proposed system is based on a photonic topological insulator integrated with a two-dimensional semiconductor and stimulates polaritons – quasiparticles that combine the properties of topological photons and excitons. The discovery opens the door to more efficient light control and hence advanced transmission and processing of optical information. The related article is published in Nature Communications.

• ITMO University Invites Young Scientists to Study Graphene-Type 2D Materials

  ITMO University’s Laboratory of Light-Matter Coupling in Nanostructures has begun active research into the optical and electrical properties of two-dimensional materials. Two-dimensional materials are atom-thin structures, graphene being the most well-known example. The laboratory was recently joined by Ekaterina Khestanova, an experimental physicist with a PhD from the University of Manchester, where she studied two-dimensional materials. In an interview with ITMO.NEWS, she talks about her past research and her plans at the laboratory.
