Title: Atomic Layer Deposition and Etching: From surface science to surface engineering Abstract: Atomically precise modification of surfaces and interfaces lead to improved understanding and significant enhancements in properties and performance of complex, heterogenous material systems. This talk highlights the impact of few monolayer films fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) on a variety of …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Light manipulation using multilayered transition metal dichalcogenides Abstract: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as a promising platform for photonic applications due to their strong light-exciton interactions. However, while TMD monolayers have been extensively studied, multilayered TMDs have received less attention due to their transition to an indirect bandgap. In this seminar, I will discuss the recent research advancements …
