Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition facility for Ultra-Thin Materials Writing

This project aims to establish a Laser direct writing facility for large-area reproducible synthesis of both amorphous and crystalline atomically-thin materials and their hybrids. Over a decade of research in atomically-thin materials has revealed unique value propositions. Expected outcomes of this facility include and ability to realise reproducible large-scale growth of a range of material systems on-demand on arbitrary substrates thereby addressing a key fabrication bottleneck hampering real-world benefit. This should provide significant benefits in creating a nexus point between disciplines, enabling research in electronics, optics, chemistry, nanomaterials characterisation, precision metrology and sensing.
