EPItaxial growth and in-situ analysis of 2 dimensional SEMiconductors

世纪材料的微型化使重要的发现和获得广泛的基础和应用感兴趣的现象成为可能。但未来的进步和应对全球挑战的创新解决方案需要转向变革性的材料系统和集成技术。这个博士项目将有助于建立一个设施（EPI2SEM），用于基于金属硫属化物的新一代二维半导体的外延生长和原位分析，具有完全表征的电子，化学和形态学特性。这将促进量子科学和技术的创新，并将促进英国和国外的战略伙伴关系。博士生将与一个由5名学者组成的团队（PH。Beton，A.赫洛贝斯托夫Novikov，A. Patanè，J. O'Shea）在凝聚态物理学和纳米科学方面有着开创性的研究记录。他将由A教授指导。Patanè（物理和天文学院）和A. Khlobystov（化学学院）。

The miniaturization of materials in the 21st century has enabled important discoveries and access to a wide range of phenomena of fundamental and applied interest. But future progress and innovative solutions to global challenges require a shift towards transformative material systems and integration technologies. This PhD project will contribute to establish a facility (EPI2SEM) for the EPItaxial growth and in-situ analysis of a new generation of 2-dimensional SEMiconductors based on metal chalcogenides with fully-characterised electronic, chemical and morphological properties. This will enable innovation in quantum science and technology, and will promote strategic partnerships in the UK and abroad. The PhD student will work with a team of 5 academics (P.H. Beton, A. Khlobystov, S. Novikov, A. Patanè, J. O'Shea) with a track-record of ground-breaking research in condensed matter physics and nanoscience. He will be supervised by Prof. A. Patanè (School of Physics and Astronomy) and Prof. A. Khlobystov (School of Chemistry).
