The project targets the research and development focused on new two dimensional systems, the atomically thin layers of semiconducting transitions metal dichalcogenides (S-TMDs: MoS₂, MoSe₂, MoTe₂, WSe₂, WS₂). The objectives of the project are to:
- elucidate the unconventional properties of excitons and many excitons systems in mono- and multi-layered S-TMDs and their heterostructures
- quantify the effect of doping on the optical response of sc-TMD monolayers and determine the yet unknown band structure parameters of their conduction and valence bands
- study the optical orientation phenomena in S-TMD structures, aiming to enhance the polarization memory under new experimental conditions and in yet unexplored systems
- implement the technological processes (on the laboratory scale) to fabricate the high quality and advanced structures of atomically thin S-TMDS and design and test the devices such as, light emitting diodes or photovoltaic photodiodes
