While 1D and 2D photonic crystals have been used ... trying to produce photonic crystals that completely block light in the visible range. These crystals will have potential use in the elaborate 3D ...

Physicists have discovered a room-temperature transition between 1D and 2D electrical conduction states in the topological insulator bismuth iodide. A Rice University team and its collaborators ...

"This is due to the unique 2D quantum confinement inside the 1D nanowire as well as the greatly improved crystal quality." The research has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Science.
