2D Materials and van der Waals Heterostructures for Opto-electronics and Quantum Science

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

The objective of this research is to fabricate single- to few-layer samples of materials which exhibit a layered character in the bulk or are theoretically predicted to be stable as single layers, and determine their fundamental properties. The research involves developing a new paradigm for heterostructures through van der Waals epitaxy of non-lattice matched 2D materials, facilitating the design of materials that do not exist in nature and exhibit properties beyond their bulk counterparts. Applications include quantum science,...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
