Unusual Photoconduction in Semiconductors Paves Way for New Excitonic Devices

An increase in the conductivity of semiconductors such as silicon present in solar cells and computer chips, in the presence of light is a widely accepted principle. MIT researchers have invented a distinct two-dimensional semiconductor which acts as a poor conductor under illumination. The semiconductor is made of a single molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) layer, as thick as three atoms.
