Rice University scientists calculate that the atom-thick film of boron known as borophene could be the first pure two-dimensional material naturally able to emit visible and near-infrared light by activating its plasmons. The Rice team tested models of three polymorphs and found that triangular borophene, at left, was capable of emitting visible light, while the other two reached near-infrared.

Scientists calculate flat boron capable of visible plasmon emissions. An atom-thick film of boron could be the first pure 2D material able to emit visible and near-infrared light by activating its plasmons, according to Rice University scientists...
