SHORT-TERM INNOVATIVE RESEARCH (STIR) PROGRAM:"Synthesizing new functional 2D semiconducting solids"
Abstract
The objective of this proposal is to synthesize a new class of 2D semiconducting materials containing Si, C, B, and N that was theoretically predicted using simulations based on accurate ab initio methods. Novel 2-D materials based on mixtures of Si-C-B-N will be grown on Cu substrates by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method using different precursors during the growth. These 20 materials will be separated from the Cu substrates employing standard transferring techniques using polymers such as PMMA. Stmctural and optical characterization will be conducted using the techniques such as Raman Spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, EDX and EELS, XPS etc. UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy will be used for detennining the bandgaps.
