Single-Crystalline Scandium Nitride (ScN)

Single-Crystalline Scandium Nitride (ScN) is a novel material that can emit, detect, and modulate infrared light with high efficiency making it useful for solar and thermal energy harvesting and for optical communication devices.

  • The generation of power, telecommunication, defence and security technology, sensors, and healthcare services all rely on electromagnetic waves, a renewable energy source.
  • High-tech techniques and specialised materials are used by scientists to precisely manage these waves, which have diameters thousands of times smaller than a human hair.
  • Nonetheless, not all light wavelengths (or electromagnetic waves) can be effectively used, particularly infrared light, which is challenging to detect ....
