Graphene is a two-dimensional flat material which exhibits fascinating physical properties due to its honeycomb lattice structure. Calculations [1] and experiments [2] have shown that charge carriers have a linear energy dispersion (Dirac cones) near the corners of the Brillouin zone, indicating that they behave like massless particles. These fundamental properties result in interesting optical and electrical characteristics in this material.
My research will focus on the fabrication and characterization of artificial graphene by nano pattering inside a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas confined in an InGaAs/InAlAs quantum well. Electron beam lithography is used to create a mask with a honeycomb structure, which will be used to etch inside the surface of the sample. Main goal of my project aims at revealing Dirac cones in the band structure of the electrons by performing low-temperature transport measurements, optical measurements and local-probe spectroscopy in a scanning tunneling microscopy setup.
I would like to present the first results of this research, which consist of the fabrication of honeycomb semiconductors using electron beam lithography.
This research is performed in collaboration with the institute d’electronique, de microelectronique et de nanotechnologie (IEMN) at Lille, France.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
