AP Seminar - 2D Materials: From Production to Next Generation Communications

Understanding the electronic and dielectric properties of materials is important for next generation devices. Two-dimensional van der Waals bonded materials are currently an active area for research and while there has been considerable exploration of their DC electrical properties, their microwave and THz properties are underexplored. In this talk the factors that influence the high frequency properties of graphene for THz communications are discussed. The talk will also introduce other 2D materials and we will comment on the developments in dispersion of graphene using sonication.
