IAP researchers presented research talks at the 2023 American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting. The talks featured the latest research from IAP members and highlight the group’s contribution to the field of physics. The talks covered theoretical physics, quantum technologies, and 2D Materials Physics. The APS March Meeting is the world’s largest annual gathering of physicists and researchers, and IAP is proud to be represented among the speakers.
Djuric Brice Talonpa Tchoffo, a first-year Ph.D. student, presented a talk entitled “Towards large-scale growth of blue phosphorene,” in which he describes the mechanism of formation of blue phosphorene on a Nickel substrate.
Abdelmajid Ait Abdelkader, a Postdoctoral fellow, presented his results in a presentation named “Probing the Nature of Defects in Graphene by coupling the experimental and calculated Raman Spectra”. He will show how Raman spectroscopy can be improved to determine the size and type of defects, which would allow the controlling of defects in 2D Materials.
Ismail Benabdallah, a Postdoctoral fellow, did a presentation on “Defects Graphene as membranes for water desalination”. This presentation will show the feasibility of water desalination by use of defect-controlled nanoporous graphene on an SiO2 substrate.
Vivek Chaudhary presented the “Optimization of nucleation and growth parameters for large-scale MoS2 thin films using chemical vapor deposition: A case study”. In this talk, the effect of substrate surface treatment on the scalability of MoS2 thin films will be discussed.
Abdelouahed El Fatimy discussed the “Towards water desalination membrane and Terahertz bolometric detection using low dimensional material with defects”. The presentation will describe how understanding and controlling defects in low-dimensional materials is essential to exploit novel materials for potential applications such as water desalination and Terahertz bolometric sensors.
