Electron correlations and non-trivial band topology in 2D materials KU Leuven
Ab initio simulations of novel 2D materials and interfaces for advanced ICT applications KU Leuven
To continue the development and miniaturization of transistors, new materials and device concepts are required to be developed. This thesis provides a study of two new classes of materials, superlattices and two-dimensional (2D) materials, to assess their potential as a replacement for silicon in the transistor channel. To perform this analysis, modern modeling techniques are used to provide an atomistic description (molecular dynamics, ...

Colloidal 2D Materials for Room Temperature Excitonics Ghent University
2D semiconducting materials are highly suitable for hosting stable quasi-particles called excitons. These excitons show remarkable light-matter interactions which will be investigated in this research project by means of inorganic chemistry and femtochemistry (optical spectroscopy and microscopy).
2D materials optomechanics in Silicon photonics Ghent University
The proposed project is built on the successful training and research experience of the leading European research Groups working in the field of cavity optomechanics. Our ENT unites a total of 14 leading groups in the field, of which two are major industrial players that utilize MEMS and NEMS - Bosch and IBM. The main goal of the project is to exploit optomechanical interactions in views of novel functionality and possible applications of ...
Development and optimisation of adhesion mechanisms between rubber and thermoplast materials for 2K injection moulding KU Leuven
Successful two-component (2K) injection moulding of multi-material products requires an efficient production process and an optimal material combination. Specifically for thermoset rubbers with thermoplastics, this is challenging as during injection moulding these materials have opposite temperature requirements. Therefore, a novel process with a mould containing thermally separated heat cavities was developed by Bex et al. [1]. Available ...
