| Project Detail |
The desire to explore new types of transport in solid state devices, with the need to increase the efficiency and capabilities of computing systems motivates the use of alternative particles and quantum degrees of freedom, such as spins in spintronics and photons in photonics. This project proposes to build on our recent advances in realizing and electrically controlling exciton transport in heterostructures based on 2D semiconductors. We propose new approaches for the manipulation of excitons and external control of exciton currents. We will induce exciton transport in a range of geometries, allowing us to establish the most efficient structures for long-range propagation and control of excitons. A large range of structures will be investigated, including synthetic heterostructures. Limits to spatial extent of exciton diffusion and factors influencing exciton mobility will be quantified and various strategies for potentially inducing effective exciton drift currents will be explored. The gained knowledge will be applied to realizing a types of excitonic devices. |
