演讲题目:2D Graphene and Layered MX2 Anchal Srivastava
内容摘要
Graphene, 2D atomic layer structure, shows unique electronic band structure makes it attractive for many applications. Its high carrier mobility, high electrical and thermal conductivity make it an exciting material. However, its applicability cannot be effectively realized unless facile techniques to synthesize high quality, large area graphene are developed in a cost effective way. Here, I will discuss the quantum Hall effect (QHE) measured at 12 T at 4.2 ºK on uniform and continuous single layer graphene films grown from different origin/substrates, band gap engineering in 2D atomic hybridized h-BN and C (graphene) domains. Some applications of graphene/ functionalized graphene such as fabrication for urea biosensor; Nitrogen-doped graphene for Lithium Battery Application etc. will be also discussed briefly.
However, Graphene possess many exceptional electronic, optical and mechanical properties, but it is a zero band gap material (semi-metallic). The zero band gap nature of Graphene limits its applicability in the semiconducting field requiring high on-off ratio. And this limitation of Graphene could be overcome by 2D TMDs such as: MoS2, WS2 etc. These materials when thinned down to single atomic layer, shows direct band behavior having band gap in optically visible range. However scalability of these materials is required for any practical applications. Here, I will be also discussing the AP-CVD growth of MoS2 and WS2 2D crystals.
