Project Description
The rich variety of two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown unique promise for both nano/quantum photonics (for example graphene and 2D materials based tunable plasmonics and optoelectronics; color centers/single photon sources/quantum emitters in boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides) as well as spintronics (for example 2D magnets with voltage tunable magnetism, topological insulators with spin-momentum locking, and transition metal dichalcogenides with optically addressable spin-valley locking). This project will study 2D materials and their van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures that bring together such interesting properties in both quantum photonics/plasmonics and spintronics, to develop hybrid quantum systems that may enable optically addressed and controlled quantum sensors, spin qubits and other quantum devices for quantum information/sensing and spintronic applications. The successful candidate will be jointly supervised by both advisors, and learn about nano/quantum photonics/plasmonics and 2D materials/devices fabrication and opto/electronic measurements.
