Thesis abstract
My project focus is on the development of the growth protocols based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique to obtain large area uniform deposition of tellurium-based two dimensional materials like MoTe2 and tellurene. I also investigate the optical, morphological, and electrical properties of these materials at the nanoscale using Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and conductive AFM. To support my experimental observation, I also developed a numerical simulation based on finite element method in COMSOL Multiphysics environment to predict the optimized growth condition in CVD furnace.
Personal interest in my research theme
I decided to pursue a PhD in nanotechnology area because I have strong passion to uncover and investigate 2D materials, which are incredibly thin and exhibit unique properties. My aim is to contribute to make the future better through finding innovate applications of these materials. One aspect that truly excites me is the multidisciplinary nature of my work as I always looking for different perspectives. I also enjoy dealing with different challenges and collaborating with experts and learning continuously.
