One Lithium Atom

A single lithium atom revolutionizes the performance of carbon nanoloop rings. Advanced computer simulations demonstrate that adding just one lithium atom to the outer surface of carbon nanoloop rings can significantly increase the nonlinear optical responses of these materials; an achievement that paves the way for designing the next generation of photonic devices, optical communications, and laser systems.
