excitonics
[ ek-si-ton-iks, -sahy- ]
noun
- the study of excitons and their use in semiconductors and insulators.
Example Sentences
"We are currently exploring lightwave electronics as a means to supercharge excitonics with extremely fast processing capabilities."
"The ability to move excitons where we want will help us improve the efficiency of devices that already use excitons and expand excitonics into computing."
Excitons are also easy to convert to and from light, so they open the way for extremely fast and efficient computers that use a combination of optics and excitonics, rather than electronics.
"Hubbard excitons and their magnetic binding mechanism demonstrate a drastic departure from the paradigms of traditional excitonics, creating the opportunity to develop a whole ecosystem of novel technologies that are fundamentally unavailable in conventional excitonic systems," Mehio says.
The results could have applications in the development of new exciton-related technologies, or excitonics, in which the excitons would be manipulated through their magnetic properties.
