- Title
Solid-state physics: An insulator's metallic side.
- Authors
Moore, Joel
- Abstract
The article offers information on a study which discusses the remarkable behavior of electrons that are confined to a plane. It mentions that planar electrons in a strong magnetic field can compete with graphene in electronic applications, with the material being said to consist of a single layer of carbon atoms. It relates that researchers have found out that one or two dimensional metals will become insulators or the diffusion of electrons which describes the material's conductivity. It further affirms that electron in graphene are observed if its scattering potential is very smooth.
