We are pleased to invite you to the Skoltech Colloquium, with guest speaker Prof. Thomas Mueller. And this week: the promise and challenge of two dimensional semiconductors.

When: November 13, 4 pm

What: Optoelectronics with 2D semiconductors

Where: Hypercube, 7th floor

Guest Speaker: Prof. Thomas Mueller. Vienna University of Technology and the Institute of Photonics, Vienna, Austria

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals, such as graphene and layered transition-metal dichalcogenides, are currently receiving a lot of attention for applications in (opto-)electronics. In this talk I will review our research activities on photovoltaic energy conversion and photodetection in 2D semiconductors.

In particular, I will present a WSe2 monolayer p-n junction [1], formed by electrostatic doping using a pair of split gate electrodes, and a MoS2/WSe2 van der Waals type-II heterojunction [2]. Upon optical illumination, conversion of light into electrical energy occurs in both devices. I will present measurements of the electrical characteristics, the photovoltaic properties, and the gate voltage dependence of the photoresponse. In the second part of my talk, I will discuss photoconductivity studies of MoS2 field-effect transistors [3].

Professor Thomas Mueller TU Vienna

We identify photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, which both show strong photoconductive gain. A model will be presented that reproduces our experimental findings, such as the dependence on optical power and gate voltage. We envision that the efficient photon conversion, combined with the advantages of 2D semiconductors, such as flexibility, high mechanical stability and low costs of production, could lead to new optoelectronic technologies.

On September 1, Skoltech opens its doors for the new batch of Russian and international students.

The official opening ceremony of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) new academic year will be held on September 1, 2014 at 9 am at the Hypercube building. The university invites all to join us at the ‘Ringing the Bell’ event, which is by now a tradition (after being held for the first time last year).

More than 150 students from around the world will begin their studies at the university – or return to school. This year five educational programs of the University are officially open. Students will be studying in the following “tracks”: Energy, Space, IT, Biomedicine and Manufacturing.

As always, the institute will focus on world class education. Professors from MIT (USA), University of Cambridge (UK), University of Illinois (USA), University of California, Los Angeles (USA) and other leading institutions will teach at Skoltech As for the students, they all hold bachelor and specialist degrees from leading Russian universities such as MIPT, MSU, Bauman MSTU, St. Petersburg State University, and others. A number of students are graduates of foreign universities with an outstanding reputation – University of Pennsylvania (USA), Vienna University of Technology (Austria) and others.

Currently, the total number of Skoltech master and PhD graduates is 176. More than a third of the students are women, and 18% are international students hailing from 15 countries: Armenia, Austria, Belarus, Canada, Vietnam, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Italy, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Thailand, India and Kazakhstan. In total, more than 100 new students join Skoltech this year.

As part of the program, a special award ceremony will take place at Hypercube on September 1 to mark the achievements by outstanding students. The opening ceremony will start at 9 am at the Hypercube (Skolkovo Innovation Center).
