High performance chalcogenide processing addressing grand challenges (ARC LIEF administered by The University of Sydney) (2023–2024)
Abstract:
This project aims to meet the growing need for micro- and nano- scale material processing, device fabrication and
characterisation for chalcogenides, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and van der Waals heterostructures based on allotropes of S, Se, Te etc for addressing the grand challenges of i) next generation data processing devices for increasing volume and speed of modern information and communication
technologies; ii) high performance photovoltaics and smart windows for renewable energy generation and
sustainable living; iii) rational design of photo-catalysts for clean hydrogen generation; iv) ultrasensitive gas
sensors for detecting greenhouse gasses and v) ultra-violet (UV) sensors for preventing skin cancer.
