2D Materials in 3D Architectures with Photodetector Applications

Two dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and MoS₂ are of considerable current interest in the nanoscience/nanotechnology community, due to their exceptional electronic, mechanical and optical properties. Past reports focus on the use of such 2D materials in devices with traditional, planar architectures. In this talk, I will report scalable means to exploit 2D materials in complex, three dimensional (3D) formats, with examples in unique nanosystems with levels of function in photoimaging/detection that cannot be easily reproduced with conventional materials and/or conventional device layouts.
