Tuning electronic and optical properties in twisted 2D semiconductors

该项目旨在建立和表征一系列新型电子材料：原子薄的半导体层堆叠扭曲，以实现新的电子相位和新的低能量电子设备。本项目采用跨学科的方法，结合先进的实验和理论技术。预期的结果将是对扭曲半导体超晶格的电子和光学性质的详细了解，从而可以根据需要生产出具有所需性质的半导体超晶格。该项目的好处将是用于电子和光电子应用的新材料，与国际组织的新联系，以及为纳米电子学的职业培养学生和博士后。

This project aims to build and characterise a family of novel electronic materials: layers of atomically thin semiconductors stacked with a twist, to realise new electronic phases and new low-energy electronic devices. The project adopts an interdisciplinary approach combining advanced experimental and theoretical techniques. The expected outcomes will be a detailed understanding of the electronic and optical properties of twisted semiconductor superlattices, such that they can be produced with desired properties on demand. The benefits of the project will be new materials for electronics and optoelectronics applications, new links to international organisations, and training of students and postdocs for careers in nanoelectronics.
