Philip Kim, "Relativity, Quantum Physics, and Graphene"
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 11 Ιαν 2017
The
two most important achievements in physics in the 20th century were the
discoveries of the theory of relativity and quantum physics. In 1928,
Paul Dirac synthesized these two theories and wrote the Dirac equation
to describe particles moving close to the speed of light in a quantum
mechanical way, and thus initiated the beginning of relativistic quantum
mechanics. Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite discovered only a
decade ago, has been providing physicists opportunities to explore an
interesting analogy to relativistic quantum mechanics. The unique
electronic structure of graphene yields an energy and momentum relation
mimicking that of relativistic quantum particles, providing
opportunities to explore exotic and exciting science and potential
technological applications based on the flat carbon form. In this
presentation Professor Kim discuses the brief history of graphene
research and its implications in science and technology.
