Properties and Device Prospects of Emerging Two-Dimensional Materials

In this talk, I will discuss our recent research in studying the electronic, optical and ferroelectric properties of emerging low-dimensional materials, and in developing them for electronic and photonic device applications. The first part of the talk will focus on discussing the basic properties of emerging 2D materials such as black phosphorus and its applications in mid-infrared optoelectronics. Our recent research on the ferroelectric monolayer materials will also be presented. In the second part of the talk, I will discuss our work on applying advanced 4-dimensional imaging technique to study the carrier transport in low dimensional materials and in studying optical phenomenon. I will conclude with remarks on promising future research directions of low-dimensional material properties and devices, and how the emerging materials may benefit future generations of electronics and photonics technology in sensing, imaging and communications.
