About the Project
2D materials such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), black phosphorus, and molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) are among viable key materials for electromechanical applications. They have unique thermomechanical properties beyond the bulk counterparts due to their atomic structures, enabling remarkable applications for wearable sensing devices and high frequency actuators. There is a wide range of 2D materials with outstanding thermoelectrical and optical properties, which lead to consider them to be part of the next generation of flexible nanoelectronics and nanophotonic. Size is an important factor in those 2D nanostructures. This project aims to explore exceptional properties of 2D materials for sensing applications using computational techniques such as finite element methods, atomic simulations and density functional theories. This project will have a wide range of applications from biomedical sensors, communication generators, energy storage and thermal management.
This project requires basic knowledge in nano/micro-systems, computational mechanics, and multiscale modelling. This project suits applicants with background in materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry or a related discipline.
For more details about this project, please contact Dr M. N Esfahani, email: mohammad.nasresfahani@york.ac.uk
