Engineering twisted two-dimensional materials for mid-infrared detectors. This project aims to engineer twisted two-dimensional materials and develop efficient room-temperature mid-infrared detectors

Description

Engineering twisted two-dimensional materials for mid-infrared detectors. This project aims to engineer twisted two-dimensional materials and develop efficient room-temperature mid-infrared detectors that sense both the intensity and polarisation of light. This project expects to generate a cost-effective, ultra-compact, and multifunctional mid-infrared optical platform with high energy conversion efficiency towards advanced sensing and imaging systems. The anticipated goal of this project is to deliver high value-added devices with reduced energy consumption for the electronics and photonics industries. This should provide significant economic and environmental benefits by realising technological innovations, savings in materials and energy costs, and reduced environmental impact in advanced manufacturing.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 1007 - Nanotechnology. Lead: Dr Qingdong Ou
