Growth and characterisation of two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures on sic

(2019) Growth and characterisation of two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures on sic. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Atomically thin two-dimensional materials and their hybrids represent an elegant approach to designing and synthesizing functional nanomaterials and are expected to find applications across a broad range of new technologies. This project explored scalable synthesis of various two-dimensional layered materials and their hybrid counterparts on silicon carbide, an industrially relevant device substrate. It demonstrates the integration of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenide layers which were characterised by high resolution scanning probe microscopy and electron spectroscopy. The procedures developed in this work are expected to facilitate a route towards large-scale synthesis of novel nanoscale devices directly on-chip.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
