Project Summary: Dilute magnetic semiconductors, achieved through substitutional doping of magnetic atoms into semiconducting systems, enable experimental modulation of spin dynamics for novel magneto-electric or magneto-optical devices, especially in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides that accentuate interactions and activate valley degrees of freedom.
2D Crystal Consortium - Materials Innovation Platform (2DCC-MIP)
The 2DCC-MIP combines a vibrant in-house research effort focused on transformative advances in the synthesis and characterization of 2D chalcogenide layered materials with a robust external user program that provides access to expertise and state-of-the-art facilities. The 2DCC-MIP platform enables cutting edge research and discovery, across in-house research and the user program, on the synthesis and characterization of 2D chalcogenide materials by a national user community guided by four science drivers: Physics of 2D Systems, Epitaxy of 2D Chalcogenides, Next-generation 2D Electronics, and Advanced Characterization and Modeling.
