Materiales y dispositivos 2D más allá de la ciencia del grafeno

Programa específico: Dirección General de Investigación Científica del Ejército del Aire
UPV/EHU Estado del socio: Socio del consorcio
UPV/EHU IP: Angel Rubio
Inicio del proyecto: 19/02/2015
Fin del proyecto: 18/02/2017

Breve descripción: Debido al notable éxito de la investigación sobre el grafeno, la posibilidad de diseñar capas atómicas bidimensionales compuestas por una clase más amplia de materiales ha surgido como una dirección de investigación muy atractiva. El excelente potencial de estos materiales se ha puesto de relieve en varios avances recientes. Se espera que la capacidad de diseñar estados electrónicos en el límite de una sola capa atómica conduzca a una nueva física, conceptos de dispositivos e integración. La disponibilidad de capas atómicas estables con diversas composiciones y estructuras electrónicas permite apilar estas capas y producir nuevas estructuras de van der Waals con propiedades inexploradas. Este proyecto integra un esfuerzo de investigación interdisciplinario con un equipo de científicos de materiales, físicos e ingenieros de dispositivos para construir la base de conocimientos fundamentales en el área de capas atómicas bidimensionales y desarrollar las bases para una próxima generación de sistemas electrónicos y optoelectrónicos totalmente bidimensionales. Las sólidas colaboraciones con los diversos laboratorios del Departamento de Defensa de los EE. UU. forman parte integral del proyecto.
