2D materials: from scalable MOCVD growth to quantitative structural characterization at the atomic scale

Abstract

Two-dimensional materials are prime contenders to enhance semiconductor technology. Their rich compositional and stacking varieties yield virtually endless possibilities to tailor device properties. For example, monolayer GaS exhibits a bandgap in the ultraviolet and could yield solar-blind photodiodes or even replace GaN as emitter in LEDs covering the whole visible spectrum.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Faculty of Arts are pleased to present a “Mash-Up” event, on the theme of “Alternate Energy and the Hydrogen Economy."

This event will take place on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in QNC 1501. A networking lunch will be hosted after the presentations.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is pleased to present a Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Khalil Amine, Argonne Distinguished Fellow and the leader of the Advanced Battery Technology team at Argonne National Laboratory.

In-person in QNC 1502!

Registration is required. Please register early as there is limited in-person seating.

The Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE) and the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) are partnering to organize a series of discourses on technology-based solutions to global challenges linked to UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has four main thematic research areas; Smart and Function Materials, Connected Devices, Next Generation Energy Systems and Therapeutics and Theranostics. To showcase the work going on within these areas, WIN will be holding Thematic Seminars featuring our members and their research group members.

This month's WIN Thematic Seminar will highlight the Next Generation Energy Systems theme with research presented by Niloo Misaghian and Professor Jeff Gostick from the Department of Chemical Engineering.
