About the Project: Layered transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs), like MX? (M=Mo, W and X= S, Se) and their heterostructures are promising 2D semiconductors with exotic properties and interesting applications. These TMDs, however, suffer from degradation in ambient conditions due to exposure to air and moisture. This proposal aims to explore alternate air-stable layered semiconductor-layered transition metal oxides, like WO? and MoO?, which combine the benefits of layered chalcogenides with the chemical and thermal stability of oxides.
In this project, the synthesis of layered transition metal oxides, like layered WO? and MoO?, will be explored. Liquid and solid precursors will also be used to synthesize large-area films by growth processes similar to layered TMDs. Direct synthesis on different substrates will be used to determine the impact of the substrate on the crystallinity, phase, and microstructure of these films. A system equipped to handle oxidizing and reducing atmosphere will be constructed, where the precursor concentrations can be precisely controlled.
Thermodynamic calculations will be used to predict the synthesis window and stability of these materials systems. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of these layered materials will be determined and used to correlate with optoelectronic device performance. Modeling of optical and electrical devices based on the measured properties will be used for designing device architecture to enhanced device performance.
