INTERLAYER EXCITONS AS QUANTUM EMITTERS IN 2D MATERIALS
Abstract
Two dimensional materials (2D) are the most prominent candidates for a new generation of devices in the fields of nanophotonics and nanoelectronics. This proposal will address one of the most pressing challenges in the field – comprehensive study of interlayer excitons in 2D materials. These excitons form when two different monolayers are stuck together and have the potential to serve as sources of single photons that are required for most quantum applications, including unbreakable quantum cryptography. The intended project outcomes are a new platform for quantum technologies and secure communications, and fundamental advances in present understanding of defects in 2D materials.
