An international group of scientists consisting of Russian and American experts has presented the first one-dimensional semiconducting material in the world.
This material is based on the chemical compound Ta2Pd3Se8 (tantalum-palladium-selenium) and another compound called Ta2Pt3Se8 (tantalum-platinum-selenium) obtained from a Ta-Pd(Pt)-Se crystal using a micro-mechanical cleavage technique. This crystal was first synthesized over 30 years ago.
Russian news agency RIA Novosti has interviewed Pavel Sorokin, Head of the Theoretical Materials Science of Nano-Structures Infrastructure at the Inorganic Nano-Materials Laboratory at NUST MISIS, DSc (Physics and Mathematics). The researcher discusses the future influence of this “smart material” on human life.
