Cubic Nonlinearity of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides in Atomic Layers for Defense Applications
Abstract
The objectives of proposed project include: 1) to investigate the cubic nonlinearity of bare MX2 atomic bilayers, homo-/hetero-structures, and field emission transistors (FETs) with electrically-controlled neutral and charged excitons through the backgate for DoD’s nonlinear photonic applications, that will greatly enhance the nonlinear optical science and engineering programs; 2) to train the number of graduate and undergraduate students in emerging technologies related to advanced 2D atomic layers for photonic defense applications; and 3) to strengthen the pipeline of good students pursuing advanced degrees in science and technology through outreach activities involving local and regional schools. The proposed works will be completed within the institution with a principal investigator, a postdoctoral associate, and student participations.
