What Materials are Used in Nanoscale Signal Transmission?
Various nanomaterials are employed to facilitate signal transmission. Some of the most common include: - Carbon nanotubes (CNTs): Known for their exceptional electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. - Graphene: A single layer of carbon atoms with excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. - Quantum dots: Semiconductor nanocrystals that can emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths, used in optical communication. - Metallic nanoparticles: Often used in plasmonic devices for enhancing electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale.
