PhD PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The proposed PhD project focuses on advancing the understanding and manipulation of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly transition metal ditellurides, to uncover novel physical phenomena and potential applications. TMDs have emerged as a captivating class of materials within the condensed matter community due to their diverse physical properties, which are highly dependent on their elemental composition, stoichiometry, and structural polytypes.<\/p>\n

One of the primary objectives of this project is to investigate the growth of TMDs monolayers on decoupling substrates. By utilizing decoupling substrates, which effectively isolate the TMD monolayers from the underlying substrate, we aim to enhance the quality and controllability of TMD growth processes. This aspect will involve experimental synthesis techniques to precisely control the growth conditions and characterize the resulting monolayers using advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the project aims to correlate the atomic-scale structure of TMD monolayers with their macroscopic properties. This involves elucidating the crystalline, electronic, and topological structure of TMDs at the atomic level and understanding how these structural features manifest in their macroscopic physical properties.<\/p>\n

The project will involve collaborations with leading research institutions and synchrotron facilities, including ALBA and BESSY synchrotron. These collaborations will provide access to state-of-the-art experimental facilities and expertise in synchrotron-based techniques, enhancing the scope and depth of the research investigations. Additionally, a planned secondment to the Group of Martin \u0160vec at the Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences, will offer further research opportunities in ultra-high vacuum low-temperature scanning probe microscopy and optical spectroscopy.<\/p>\n

Overall, this interdisciplinary project bridges the gap between atomic-scale characterization and macroscopic properties in TMD monolayers, with the ultimate goal of unlocking their full potential for future technological applications in areas such as electronics, optoelectronics, and quantum technologies.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” gallery_ids=”2322,2324″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin=”|-163px||||” show_title_and_caption=”off”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||6px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||29px|||” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]
