Towards water desalination membrane and Terahertz bolometric detection using low dimensional material with defects.

ORAL

Abstract

Understanding and controlling defects in low-dimensional materials is essential to exploit these novel materials' potential for applications. We find that the device fabrication process substantially affects the defect density and that a higher defect density greatly enhances the bolometer device's performance, yielding faster response time and lower thermal conductance in a wide range of power and temperature [1]. We studied this defect using plasma sputtering and experimental and calculated Raman spectra. We show that we can determine the type of defects, which can help engineer a 2D membrane for water desalination and Terahertz Applications [2-3].
