New Materials for Nanoelectronics: A View from the Bottom
Abstract
This century has seen the end of Moore's Law and a consequent
explosion of interest in new materials for electronics. A central theme has been
the control of electronic structure and transport properties through constraints of
dimensionality and—more recently—topology. The catalyst for this growing
research in 2D and topological materials was the development of graphene; with
Georgia Tech playing a leading role. In this talk, I will discuss some of the ideas
behind nanoelectronic applications of 2D and topological materials, and I will
present scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy methods that we have
developed for determining the nanometerscale
electronic structure of graphene
and related materials.
