Emerging and Low-Dimensional Materials and Applications

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental physics of emerging nanomaterials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and more for their applications in next generation nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. The course covers 2D materials physics, monolayer materials preparation and synthesis, transfer, optical spectroscopy and microscopy, and device fabrication and applications. In addition to lectures, the course includes hands on laboratory modules on basic fabrication, processing, and characterization of two-dimensional (2D) materials and devices.
