Graphene and Beyond: Exploring 2D layers for Next Generation Electronic Applications

报告摘要

The last decade has seen an exponential growth in the science and technology of two-dimensional materials. Beyond graphene, there is a huge variety of layered materials that range in properties from insulating to superconducting. Furthermore, heterogeneous stacking of 2D materials also allows for additional “dimensionality” for band structure engineering. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts to synthesize graphene  over large areas for the purpose of biological sensing for point-of-care medical applicaitons, as well as recent breakthroughs in novel 2D heterostructures and realization of unique 2D allotropes of 3D materials. Our recent works demonstrate that the properties and doping of 2D materials, especially synthetic 2D materials, are extremely sensitive to the substrate choice. I will discuss substrate impact on 2D layer growth and properties, doping of 2D materials, selective area synthesis of 2D materials, and novel 2D allotropes of 3D layers. Our work and the work of our collaborators has lead to a better understanding of how substrate not only impacts 2D crystal quality, but also doping efficiency in 2D materials, and stabalization of nitrides at their quantum limit.
