A group of scientists from the Saint Petersburg State Electrotechnical University “LETI” has developed a new method of interacting with black phosphorus – a material for electronics that has not yet found wide application.
This method allows for the investigation of black phosphorus as a semiconductor, opening up prospects for creating compact and high-performance electronics based on it. Moreover, it can be used for quality control of products during their production.
Black phosphorus has unique properties that allow for the creation of ultra-thin conducting films, which can then be applied in communication systems, medical diagnostics, and so on. However, to use this material in industry, methods for studying its properties are needed to create films with the required parameters.
Scientists from LETI have developed a method based on the use of a Fourier spectrometer to measure the characteristics of black phosphorus. This allowed obtaining accurate data on semiconductor characteristics and testing not only black phosphorus itself but also other promising semiconductor crystals.
The developed method has already been patented and is part of the extensive work of St. Petersburg scientists on the study of promising electronic nanomaterials.
