Detection of 2D material novel physics within a universal NANO-opto-electro-mechanical plateform – DEUS-Nano

In recent years, new 2D semiconductor materials have shown exotic and exciting electronic or optoelectronic properties with multiple applications. In particular, several interesting mechanisms can hybridize in the same device. Our project is to develop a probe of these 2D materials through mechanical vibrations with an optoelectromechanical platform. It will have the advantage of being extremely sensitive compared to any other existing solutions, intrinsic, local, and compatible with in-situ measurements of electronics and optoelectronics. In fact, this method is almost universal because it is applicable to many phenomena; we will use this new probe to better understand condensed matter problems such as the mechanical detection of new memristive effects, phase transitions, persistent photocurrent and pn junction and finally of the piezophotronic. The project is based on a control of nanofabrication and the quality of 2D materials as well as on the use of a first existing measurement platform and the development of a second one.
