Description

Our aim in this PhD project, which is a collaboration between LPENS and LPEM, is to provide a new type of devices based on the hybridizations of graphene with semiconductor nanostructures. This hybridization is achieved by coupling electronic excitations from graphene and semiconductor structures with the same electromagnetic mode sustained by a meta-atom resonator which acts as a high frequency inductor-capacitor circuit . These types of devices are not only a novel platform for exploring the light-matter coupling at the nanoscale, but they also will allow for an-all electrical spectroscopy of strongly correlated electronic systems .

Skills required
