Ari Blumer | Growth of 2-dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Ari Blumer | Growth of 2-dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

By Ari Blumer (B.S. Engineering Physics, Class of 2018) I worked during May, June, and July 2015 in Dr. Martin Kordesch’s lab in Physics & Astronomy. My research focused on the growth of two-dimensional transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs); specifically tungsten disulfide (WS2) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). TMDs are compounds that […]
