We are aiming at applying two-dimensional (2D) materials, like graphene, h-BN, and transition metal dichalcogenides, and their heterostructures to innovative electronics/photonics devices. For this purpose, we are exploring new physics and functions of 2D materials and heterostructures based on their high-quality crystal growth and nanoscale characterization of the structure and physical properties.
