Transport Properties of Layered 2D and TMD Materials Based Devices

My doctoral research work is based on the optoelectronic, and transport properties of layered two-dimensional (2D) and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials-based devices. Currently I am fabricating devices and studying their electron transport properties. The next target, to characterize the heat transportation in these devices, can’t be completed at my home institution because it requires additional sophisticated instruments (e.g. for frequency-domain thermoreflectance, magneto-optic kerr effect and for sheet resistivity) and simulation facilities. This Programme gives me opportunity to carry out this work by using the facilities of our collaborators in Canada.

Expected outcomes:
1. Less-explored thermal transport properties can be reported for these important and much-in-demand materials
2. The analysis can be implemented in several fields such as optoelectronics, sensors, and spintronics to improve the device performance related to heat dissipation in the devices.
3. The hands-on training on new experimental facilities would strengthen my research career and promote collaborations.
