Multifunctional Multiferroic 2D Sensors- Phase 1, 2D Ferroelectric Materials and Devices

Abstract

Multiferroic two-dimensional (2D) materials offer an opportunity for sensors that combine multiple functionalities in a single platform with extraordinarily low size, weight, and power (SWAP) combined with extremely high speed and sensitivity. To realize this goal, we envision a five-year effort spanning theory, material growth, device fabrication, and prototype demonstration. The project proposed here would lay the foundation for that effort by advancing 2D ferroelectric theory, materials, and devices to the point that a future expansion to 2D multiferroics is positioned for success. The primary objective of the two-year project proposed here is to accomplish the first steps of a larger vision for multifunctional multiferroic 2D sensors by advancing 2D ferroelectric materials and devices. The anticipated outcomes of this project are to advance the field of 2D ferroelectrics for sensors, lay the groundwork for a transition to 2D multiferroic sensors, train a large group of graduate researchers, and establish significantly enhanced device fabrication capability at the University of Arkansas.
