Confined space synthesis of intrinsic and doped 2D TMD materials, lateral heterostructures, and their integration into electronic devices.

Faculty Development Competitive Research Grant Program (General) 2024-2026

This is one of the very first projects to utilize the brand new Clean Room Nanofabrication Facility at NU. With this project, we will work to extend the nano-device fabrication expertise and user base in Kazakhstan. In addition, we plan to help establishing a 2D TMDs research as a mainstream productive research topic at NU and Kazakhstan, and our plans to develop practical methodology to grow variety of high-quality 2D materials, both intrinsic and doped, as well as lateral heterostructures will be a base to further in depth develop 2D materials research. These 2D materials are highly suitable to be used in nano-devices, and our project and developed expertise will encourage other NU and Kazakhstan researchers into device fabrication based research.
