THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL AND CONDUCTIVITY INVESTIGATIONS INTO BORON NITRIDE, TRANSITION METAL DICHALCOGENIDES AND DIAMOND FILMS
Abstract
We will engage in collaborative research on low dimensional materials with a research group at Rice University’s Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering. We will be provided with Boron Nitride (BN), Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) and Diamond Films, where we will conduct cryogenic temperature studies in magnetic fields up to 15 tesla. Of keen interest is research in cryogenic environments (down to 0.4 k) using magnetic fields up to 15 tesla. We will engage in systematic thermal conductivity, Resistivity, Hall Effect and Specific Heat studies. Results from data taken will lead future steps in the synthesis and improvement of the materials and potential applications. It will also be the basis of student research, Thesis-Dissertation topics and journal publication. Critical items we will address are- In the case of TMDs, the impact of magnetic impurity doping and long range magnetic order and for BN and diamond films tuning their thermal responses to temperature and magnetic field.
