Description
This fellowship opportunity supports fundamental studies of electronic transport and optoelectronic properties in two-dimensional (2D) materials and heterostructures, focusing on ultra-clean multi-gated devices. The research aims to merge transport measurements with spatially resolved optoelectronic characterization to deepen understanding and enable better theoretical comparisons. The program encourages innovative approaches combining advanced materials growth and processing techniques, such as low-energy ion implantation, to facilitate the transition of fundamental knowledge into practical electronic technologies.
Key research areas include graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, phosphorene, ion beam doping, magnetotransport, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and contact engineering.
The fellowship is hosted by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, within the Electronics Science & Technology Division.
