Simulating a Nanosized LED (2 of 2)

Caption

(Alternate view) This simulation of a 1-nm-wide indium nitride wire shows the distribution of an electron around a positively charged 'hole.' Strong quantum confinement in these small nanostructures enables efficient light emission at visible wavelengths.
