Latest Happenings in the 2DMD Sphere


2DMD Members at the 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Conference 2024

The 2DTMD Conference presents the latest developments in synthesis of 2D TMDs and their implementation in electronics, photonics, catalysis, as well as energy conversion and storage. Glad to have Prof. Manish Chhowalla as the Organizing Chair and several of our group members present at the Conference in Hong Kong! https://events.polyu.edu.hk/2dtmds2024/home

Seminar by Professor Young Duck Kim

Glad to have Professor Young Duck Kim from Kyung Hee University give a talk on “Hexagonal boron nitride for quantum light emission and Moire remote doping”! Prof. Kim presented the deep ultraviolet (DUV) electroluminescence from hBN heterostructures and the creation of robust carbon color centers in hBN under an applied local electric field. Electrically induced carbon color centers in hBN play an important role in developing efficient solid-state DUV light sources and deterministic quantum emitters.
