Title : Atomic membranes and controlled interfaces from 2D materials
Abstract:
Two-dimensional (2D) materials represent the ultimate limit in size of both a mechanical atomic membrane and of molecular electronics. Their distinctive structure and lack of dangling bonds means 2D materials remain stable down to a single monolayer and have exceptional mechanical properties: they are the strongest materials in the world yet extremely flexible. As a result, they can be suspended as atomic membranes, transferred on to arbitrary substrates, crumpled up, and stacked on top of one another to form heterostructures. Simultaneously, the growing family of 2D materials provides a correspondingly diverse set of electronic properties—a promising palette for discovering and utilizing emergent phenomena in two dimensions. In this talk, I will discuss the mechanics of atomic membranes, new nanomanufacturing and molecular assembly techniques invented to work with atomic scale structures, and engineering devices which take advantage of the unique nanoscale properties such as tunable nanoelectromechanical systems, high mobility or stretchable molecular electronics.
