Advances in New Matter Properties and Applications of Hybrid Graphene- Based Metamaterials

Abstract

: Graphene as Organic material showed special attention due to their electronic and conductive properties. Moreover, its highly conjugated chemical structures and relative easy modification permitted varied design and control of targeted properties and applications. In addition, this Nanomaterial accompanied with pseudo Electromagnetic fields permitted photonics, electronics and Quantum interactions with their surrounding that generated new materials properties. In this context, this short Review, intends to discuss many of these studies related with new materials based on graphene for light and electronic interactions, conductions, and new modes of non-classical light generation. It should be highlighted that these new materials and metamaterials are currently in progress. For this reason it was showed and discussed some representative examples from Fundamental Research with Potential Applications as well as for their incorporations to real Advanced devices and miniaturized instrumentation. In this way, it was proposed this Special issue entitled “Design and synthesis of Hybrids Graphene based Metamaterials”, in order to open and share the knowledge of the Current State of the Art in this Multidisciplinary field.

Quantum Semiconductors Based on Carbon Materials for Nanophotonics and Photonics Applications by Electron Shuttle and Near Field Phenomena

“…Similarly, other phenomena related to the transference of varied energy modes could be used as a strategy to develop new mechanisms for tuning new Optical properties, such as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) (Figure 4) [61]. The confinement of Laser dyes controlling concentrations improved Quantum Yields and different and tuneable properties with potential applications in Optoelectronics and Metamaterials [62] approaches. Therefore, It could produce other electronic and quantum properties with exciting perspectives for further studies and developments towards new Quantum properties, semiconductor emitters, and Opto-electronics behaviors.…”

“…In a similar manner to new Carbon chemical structures such as graphitic carbon nitride/carbon quantum dots (GCN/CQD) using simple sources of Carbon and Nitrogen from starch and urea, respectively (Figure 2), developed different chemical structures and Opto-electronic perspectives [31]. In this manner, it was possible to discuss the design of nanomaterials, hybrid, and functional materials to lead fundamental research focused on photo-physics, quantum materials, and metamaterials [32]. All the discussion was centered on the chemical modifications, advantages, and disadvantages, tuning properties according to needs, and considering chemical changes and targeted applications.…”
