Description
This fellowship opportunity supports research focused on the fabrication and fundamental study of single- to few-layer 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures. The research aims to develop new heterostructures via van der Waals epitaxy of non-lattice matched 2D materials, enabling the design of novel materials with properties beyond their bulk counterparts. Applications of this research include quantum science, low-power electronics, information processing, sensors, photodetection, and energy harvesting.
The program is hosted at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and is part of the NRC Research Associateship Programs, which provide postdoctoral and early career scientists with access to federal laboratories and mentorship from leading researchers.
