| Title | Fabrication of Artificial 2D van der Waals Heterostructures for Optoelectronic Applications |
| Summary | Graphene, is a single layer (monolayer) of carbon sheet, is the thinnest compound known, the lightest material known, the strongest compound discovered, the best conductor of heat at room temperature, and the best conductor of electricity known. In nature, layers of graphene stacked on top of each other form graphite, with a layer spacing of 0.33 nm. In 2004, researchers at University of Manchester first isolated graphene with the so-called “Scotch-tape” method, then they got a 2010 Nobel price. It is still used today to obtain single atomic layer flakes. Recent advancement of graphene research is to assemble heterostructures, like Lego blocks, enable 2D heterostructures to have high technological potentials that cannot be achieved by conventional semiconductor. In this project, student will assemble each 2D materials into 2D vdW heterostructures to develop new class of optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diode (LED) and photodetectors. Student will learn the basic skill to make nano-scale building blocks and optoelectronic characterization/analysis techniques. This will be good chance to learn how to deal with nano-materials and optimize the device structures for high performance optoelectronic applications. |
