Researchers have recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, opening new horizons for advancements in quantum electronics. The innovation involves a novel type of graphene nanoribbon , named Janus GNR . The material has a unique zigzag edge, with a special ferromagnetic edge state located on one of the edges.
The research was led by Associate Professor Lu Jiong and his team from the NUS Department of Chemistry, in collaboration with international partners. Assoc Prof Lu said,"Magnetic graphene nanoribbons -- narrow strips of graphene formed by fused benzene rings -- offers tremendous potential for quantum technologies due to their long spin coherence times and the potential to operate at room temperature. Creating a one-dimensional single zigzag edge in such systems is a daunting yet essential task for realising the bottom-up assembly of multiple spin qubits for quantum technologies.
"The rational design and on-surface synthesis of a novel class of JGNR represent a conceptual and experimental breakthrough for realising one-dimensional ferromagnetic chain. Creating such JGNRs not only expands the possibilities for precise engineering of exotic quantum magnetism and enables the assembly of robust spin arrays as new-generation qubits.
