Black phosphorus: A new bandgap tuning knob

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel method to tune the bandgap of black phosphorus, providing a new adjustable parameter for electronic device design.

Contribution

It experimentally demonstrates a new tuning knob for black phosphorus's bandgap, enhancing its applicability in electronic devices.

Findings

Successful experimental demonstration of bandgap tuning

Black phosphorus's electronic properties can be externally controlled

Potential for improved device performance and flexibility

Abstract

Modern electronics rely on devices whose functionality can be adjusted by the end-user with an external 'knob'. A new tuning knob to modify the band gap of black phosphorus has been experimentally demonstrated.
