Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much attention due to their unique properties. Controllable synthesis of 2D materials with high quality and high efficiency is essential for their large-scale applications. In parallel to the chemical synthesis route, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been one of the most important techniques for the synthesis of 2D materials. The present talk...

Graphene, as a zero-bandgap two-dimensional semiconductor with a linear electron band dispersion
near the Dirac points has potential to exhibit very interesting nonlinear optical properties [1]. In particular, third harmonic generation of terahertz (THz) radiation should occur both due to the nonlinear relationship between the crystal momentum and the current density, and due to the...

Tungsten disulfide represents a class of 2D materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), which exist as layers of atomic thickness with atoms organized in a honeycomb lattice. Similarly to graphene, in TMDCs the minimum of the conduction band and the maximum of the valence band are found at the K and K’ points in the Brillouin zone. Unlike graphene, these systems exhibit (i) a large...

Pulsed thermoreflectance (PTR) and photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) are powerful and contactless methods to simultaneously determine the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of thin solid films. In PTR, the heat generated in an optically absorbing thin film by a pulsed and monochromatic light beam creates a change of reflectance in the material, which is detected via a...
