Graphene and Beyond Workshop

Graphene and Beyond Workshop

The 2DCC-MIP, in collaboration with the Center for 2D and Layered Materials (2DLM) at Penn State, organized and hosted the 10th annual Graphene and Beyond Workshop in May 2023. 
Graphene and Beyond brings together students and researchers from academia, government labs and industry to discuss the latest developments in 2D materials, devices and applications. 
Highlights of prior workshops have been published in review articles1,2 that have historically been well-cited.
Highlights of Graphene and Beyond 2023:
Panel discussion on role of 2D materials in CHIPs Act

Discerning the Secrets in Materials Synthesis Data

Discerning the Secrets in Materials Synthesis Data

What Has Been Achieved: 2DCC’s web-based facility-wide data management system has captured the full history individual samples with over 11,000 materials synthesis samples and over 11,000 ex-situ characterizations (e.g., AFM, STM, TEM, XRD, XPS, among many others).  This extensive  and growing database forms the impetus for new, creative research through the data request mechanism whereas remote users can open new lines of experimental or data science inquiry through packaging of certain synthesis and/or characterization data.

What Has Been Achieved: 2DCC’s web-based facility-wide data management system has captured the full history individual samples with over 5000 materials synthesis samples and over 6000 ex-situ characterizations (e.g., AFM, STM, TEM, XRD, XPS, among many others).  This extensive  and growing database forms the impetus for new, creative research through the data request mechanism whereas remote user

Ambient-controlled automated growth, wafer transfer and optical characterization of 2D materials

Ambient-controlled automated growth, wafer transfer and optical characterization of 2D materials

What Has Been Achieved: A custom designed multi-module system for synthesis and optical characterization of 2D layered chalcogenides is available in the 2DCC Thin Films facility (MOCVD2).  The system includes a cold wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactor for deposition of wafer-scale transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers and heterostructures that is connected through a robot transfer stage to a glovebox that houses a confocal Raman/photolu
