​Laboratory of 2D Materials for Optoelectronics

The ​Laboratory of 2D Materials for Optoelectronics was created in April, 2016 in the framework of the MIPT program for promotion of competitiveness 5-100. Since October, 2016 the laboratory became a part of the MIPT center of nanoscale optoelectronics. The laboratory aims at investigating optical and electrical properties of 2D materials for further creation of optoelectronic devices with unique properties on their basis.

About

The ​Laboratory of 2D Materials for Optoelectronics is currently engaged in a number of projects with a focus on:

  •   Plasmon sources and terahertz emission detectors based on 2D electronic systems.

The lab works on plasmon instability theory and the generation of terahertz emission in new 2D materials.

  •   Nanoscale photon and surface plasmon sources based on resonant tunneling.

This includes research into resonant tunneling in the so-called Van der Waals heterostructures.

  •   The theory of laser generation in narrow-bandgap semiconductors.

The laboratory investigates laser generation in graphene, including research on optical amplification and absorption, emissionless recombination, and off-balance charge carrier kinetics.

  •   Graphene and its optical and electronic properties.

We conduct experiments to study the optical and transport properties of graphene to enable optoelectronic devices based on this material.
