NIST Researchers Tune Graphene Drumheads to Form Quantum Dots

National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) researchers have discovered that when graphene is subjected to mechanical strain, forming it into a drumhead, the effect of magnetic fields are mimicked, creating a quantum dot, which is an exotic semiconductor type having a large number of potential applications in electronic devices. The June 22, 2012 issue of Science has published the results.
