Optical diagnostics for probabilistic quantification of defects in functionalized 2D nanomaterials

This project aims to quantify defects in the probability framework for 2-dimensional (2D) materials with superior performance using optical techniques, primarily focusing on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Additionally, defects are an important factor influencing the performance of single-photon emitters (SPEs), a type of quantum device. This project will directly relate the SPE performance with defect concentration. Thus, the second part of the project involves fabricating SPEs based on Argon-ion irradiated/ strain-induced defective MoS2 and correlating device performance with a predeveloped statistical inference prediction model. This project will benefit participating institutions by advancing the development of 2D material applications in the quantum field and enhancing the understanding of material defects. This research project will help to build a foundation for large-scale production in the future.
