Project Summary: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with van der Waals gaps (vdW) have been a subject under extensive studies, since 2D thin layers of these materials exhibit a plethora of technologically useful properties, e.g. large direct band gap and high
Project Summary: The topological Hall effect (THE) is a phenomenon that is a consequence of a Berry phase created by spin textures in real space. Interfacing a topological insulator with a magnetic insulator provides a model platform for studying this phenomenon in a well-controlled manner.
Project Summary: Remote epitaxy has drawn attention as it offers epitaxy of functional materials that can be released from the substrates with atomic precision, thus enabling production and
Project Summary: MnBi2Te4 has been established as the first intrinsic antiferromagnetic (AFM) topological insulator.
Project Summary: Azimuthal reflection high-energy electron diffraction (ARHEED) is demonstrated as a powerful technique to measure the symmetry, lattice constants and in-plane orientation domain dispersion in wafer-scale, continuous monolayer WSe2 epitaxially grown on c-plane sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition.
Project Summary: Nodal-line semimetals represent a new topological quantum state, which has attracted enormous interest. ZrSiTe is a distinct nodal-line semimetal, since it possesses a nodal line protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry very close to the Fermi energy.
What Has Been Achieved: Multiscale/multiphysics models that couple continuum fluid mechanics and phase-field methods provide a means to map out how experimentally controllable macroscale (inlet velocity, temperature) and mesoscale (surface diffusion and deposition rates) parameters control the morphology of 2D materials, within the precise experimental growth geometries of the 2DCC, in a manner tha
Project Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) crystals have renewed opportunities in design and assembly of artificial lattices without the constraints of epitaxy. However, the lack of thickness control in exfoliated van der Waals layers prevents realization of repeat units with high fidelity.
Project Summary: The highest quality hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals are grown from molten solutions.
Project Summary: The electronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) vary dramatically depending on their phase (2H vs. 1T) and ans the energy to convert between the two phases is predicted to be relatively low. This has sparked interest in the use of the phase change properties of TMDs for active components in electronic devices.
