Abstract:
The atomic and molecular assembly processes on the surface of two-dimensional (2D) layered crystals have gained significant research interest for fabrication of well-ordered nanostructures and vertical heterostructures based on 2D crystals. The structure and quality at the 2D heterointerfaces have great influence on the properties and performance of heterostructures. Therefore, the direct observation of the interfacial structure of 2D heterostructure can provide insight for understanding the fundamental aspects of the system and can also lead to a better design of a new 2D heterostructure. In this seminar, I will present various oriented self-assembly phenomena on 2D crystals. Advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques are utilized to elucidate the atomic-scale structure of assemblies and their relative epitaxial relations with respect to 2D substrates. For example, one-dimensional metal-cyanide atomic chains exhibit universal oriented van der Waals epitaxy on various 2D crystals. I will also discuss the unidirectional assembly phenomena on various distorted 2D crystals, namely black phosphorus (BP) and distorted transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). These atomically puckered 2D crystals can induce the unidirectional assembly along the directions of the crystal distortion. Finally, various electrical and optical properties of these hybrid heterostructures will be discussed.

Abstract:
Here, I am going to introduce our strategies to produce 2DMs via top-down and bottom-up approaches. At first, I will present a scalable growth of single-crystal graphene (SCG) on through "transplanting” uniaxially aligned graphene “seedlings" on the larger-area catalytic growth substrate. By inducing homo-epitaxial growth of graphene from the edges of the seed arrays without additional nucleation, we achieved the SCG with an area four times larger than the mother graphene seed substrate. And then, I will introduce atomic spalling of the van der Waals crystals that achieve large area 2DMs (graphene, MoS2, MoSe2, and WSe2) with a controlled number of layers. We found that being a layered crystal with a weak interlayer vdW force enables to control of the crack propagation depth at the scale corresponding to the single atomic thickness by adjusting interfacial toughness and the internal stress of the stressor film. The results show huge potential to produce layer-resolved high quality vdW materials, which can be developed into practical functional electronic and photonic devices.

Title of the talk: Programmable van der Waals materials
Date & time: 6th September, 2021 (Monday) at 5.00 PM (IST).
Google Link: https://meet.google.com/kjf-ygdt-ogw
Abstract:
I will discuss our recent progress in the research of quantum properties of van der Waals materials. The advent of Van der Waals technology has allowed the development of many materials that did not exist before and has led to the observation of many exciting new physical phenomena in these materials due to the unique electronic, optical and mechanical properties of 2D atomic crystals. In particular, I will discuss how interlayer twist angle and stacking order can be used for deterministic control of the properties of van der Waals materials. Tuning twist angle (twistronics) became recently a huge field since electronic bands of 2D materials, their nontrivial topology, electron-electron interactions, and other structural and electronic degrees of freedom can be dramatically changed by a moiré pattern induced by twist angles between different layers. On the other hand, control of the stacking order provides an alternative approach to program quantum properties, and without the need of a moiré superlattice. Controlling stacking order in multilayer graphite films allowed us to discover the quantum Hall effect in hexagonal graphite and to find strong electronic correlations in rhombohedral graphite films.
