Webinar on growth and characterization of 2D materials beyond graphene

On 3 November (at 3:30-4:30pm GMT), UK-based plasma etch and deposition processing system maker Oxford Instruments and Raman microscopy equipment maker Renishaw are presenting a free webinar focusing on recent advances in the growth of 2D materials beyond graphene and Raman characterization, as well as elucidating the interplay between process engineering and materials characterization.

Investigation into the physics and technology of graphene in the past decade has triggered research into a large family of similar Van der Waals structures. One such class of materials that is receiving much attention is transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which have shown immense potential for both electronics and optoelectronics applications.

In order to fulfil this potential there needs to be a clear understanding of both the fabrication of 2D materials and the techniques involved in their characterization, says Oxford Instruments.

The talks to be given in the webinar are:

•  'Characterization of 2D materials and heterostructures' by Renishaw's Dr Tim Batten;
•  'Deposition of 2D materials and heterostructures' by Oxford Instruments' Dr Ravi Sundaram.
