Graphene and Beyond: 2D Nanostructure-Enabled Applications
Discovered only eight years ago, graphene (two-dimensional carbon sheet) and its derivative systems have received significant amount of research interest from both academia and industry. These emerging nanostructures exhibit unique electrical, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties due to
distinctive configuration, band structure, and quantum phenomena such as massless Dirac fermion transport. The atomically-thin sheets could be potentially assembled by the existing thin-film techniques. While graphene has been explored as both active and passive elements in the imaginary
“all-carbon electronics”, its gapless nature implies fundamental limitations that promote innovations in new device principle and material engineering. This seminar will introduce basic structure, material preparation, and logic switch / on-chip interconnect applications of 2D carbon systems, as well as the areas of potential breakthrough. Challenges and near-future research opportunities will be highlighted.
The conference will be held on the 1st July at 10:30 in the SUD 09 lecture hall, place Croix-du-Sud, Louvain-la-Neuve.
Drinks and appetizers will be served after the presentation and question-and-answer session.
