Research

2D Materials

We operates a large number of tube furnaces and vacuum chambers for CVD growth of 2D Materials

UHV and MBE Growth

We grow stacks of 2D Materials in ultra-high vacuum using solid-source CVD and MBE

Characterization

We perform X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) in our Lab

1D Materials

We develop methods for the preparation of 1D materials, including for potential interconnect applications in microelectronics

Device Fabrication

We are one of the Largest Userss of UCR's Semiconductor Cleanroom

Electrical Characterization

We perform electrical characterization of our materials from DC to MHz Surface Acoustic Wave Spectroscopy
