Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are subject to effects of reduced dimensionality when thinned
down from bulk to the single-layer limit, which may impact their fundamental properties and overall
response. In this talk I will illustrate the influence of such effects on the electronic and optoelectronic
properties of MBE-grown 2D TMD semiconductors and metals.
The NS3E laboratory synthesizes detonation nanodiamonds by detonation of explosives since many years. These very small nanoparticles (i.e. 5 nm) can be used for a wide variety of applications in many fields such as sensing, medicine, pyrotechnics, optics.
