Study Considers if Near-Field Transducers Can Control Nanoscale Charge Conduction AdvOpticalMat plasmonic nanoscience
By Bhavna KavetiSep 12 2022Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. Near-field plasmonics served as a support system to explore single-molecule spectroscopy, quantum information processing, and cavity quantum electrodynamics whose study critically requires control over light, heat, and charge at the nanoscale level.
Furthermore, the moiré physics of two films with relative rotations and the Seebeck effect was investigated for which the temperature gradients were induced by an electrical voltage. The results revealed these methods could regulate the temperature distribution effectively with values between 101 and 102 Kelvin, which is critical in many nanodevices. In addition, the directional flow of current was manipulated, helping in electrical switching and output steering of energy.

The Moiré effect has been used in different areas, including microscopy, cryptography, profilometry, and material stress evaluation. Moiré and Seebeck Effects in Ultrathin Films The advancements in cancer treatments, data storage devices, and photovoltaic and solar cell technology will require the manipulation of heat and current at the nanoscale level. In the present work, two methods were reported to tune current and heat in ultrathin films using Seebeck or Moiré effects that were executed via near-field plasmonics.
The studies conducted in the present work examined how the Moiré effect was harnessed to control nanoheating and subsequent conversion to electric currents in two overlapping ultrathin films. In particular, the current work focused on ultrathin films of BP with a few atomic layers based on previous reports and an understanding of the benefits of BP for emerging technologies and the high degree of tunability of its optical and electrical properties.
In addition to alterations in the spatial distribution of current and temperature, the maximum values of each may be tuned based on the experimental requirements. Moreover, the possibility of steering directional output from the ultrathin films using the Moiré effect was demonstrated.
