Tiny displacements, giant changes in optical properties

A vector map showing picometer-scale displacements of titanium atoms overlaid onto a scanning transmission electron micrograph that shows the position of different atomic columns. The direction and magnitude of atomic displacements are represented by arrows; direction is also indicated by color.
In a study published recently in Advanced Materials, researchers from Washington University and the University of Southern California reveal a new pathway for designing optical materials using the degree of atomic disorder. The researchers anticipate developing crystals that enable advanced infrared imaging in low-light conditions or to enhance medical imaging devices.
