Huh.
Two questions:
1. Any chance this can be replicated in 2D topological insulators?
2. Any chance this could work at room temperature? The paper seems to say <150K.
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoTangential question: are the electron "fluid dynamics" of graphene inherently "2D" because it's such a "layered" material and we're talking about such thin slices? That is, do vortices in the flow behave as if confined to 2 dimensions? Even if we have to given it a nitrogen bath, it would be incredibly interesting if you could experiment with 2D electron fluid dynamics just by creating graphene structures. (Which I believe can be created via laser circuit printing -- considerably easier than the process for similar things now.)
- civilitty 9y agoYes but bulk graphene has a lot of imperfections changing the electron flow.
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoThis isn't something I know a huge amount about -- could you elaborate? (I'm mostly just unsure of the scale we're talking about -- what qualifies as "bulk" and what's "a lot"?)
