Low-Dimensional Materials
Low-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit extraordinary mechanical, optical and electronic properties. These are for example, a high Young’s modulus, an electrically tunable refractive index or strong photoluminescence emission, making these materials highly suitable for next generation displays, photodetectors and light sources. However, there are still numerous open questions with respect to the large scale manufacturing and the efficient coupling of light to these atomically thin layers. Our research focuses on developing scalable manufacturing processes for these materials and investigating methods for improved light coupling for realizing light-harvesting and optoelectronic devices.
