Description
2D heterostructures formed by graphene and/or transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), have become a captivating platform for exploring the interplay between strong electronic correlations and non-trivial band topology. The project aims to study, by STM in ultra-high vacuum and low temperature (4.2 K), bilayer graphene (AB-G) and rhombohedral graphene (ABCA-G) heterostructures aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). In addition to STM, the student will have the possibility to participate to the microfabrication of the heterostructures supervised by R. Ribeiro in the PHYNANO group, learn to work in a clear room environment and perform transport measurements.
