What is it about?

2D materials have potential for applications in several technological devices, such as flexible electronics. In this study, we should that electric current can be used to trigger light emission from tungsten diselenide. The light emitted comes from excitons in the material showing that such luminescence can be relevant in Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

Why is it important?

Flexible devices can be used in several applications and LEDs are relevant building blocks for such devices.

Perspectives

This is the first article of my team in this area. We are also happy that it is one of the first articles that managed to show excitonic emission from tunneling current.
