"About nanometer sized analogues of basic electronic and optical components", 2008 2nd Icton Mediterranean Wiınter (Icton-Mw)9781424434848http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/2945We discuss a downsizing of optical components into the nanometer range. It presupposes the substitution of photons by ballistic electrons, but it also requires a simple and robust concept to assemble the analogues of basic electronic and optical components on such a tiny length scale. Here, one of the most promising candidate schemes employs graphene as a basic nanosubstrate. We elucidate the suggested behaviour of graphene as an electronic metamaterial [1], and show that other desired electronic or optical functionalities may be obtained through a patterning with sub-nanometer sized boron clusters [2].eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNanotechnologyElectronic DevicesPhotonic DevicesMetamaterialsGrapheneClusters
