Focusing on the basic scientific problems of two-dimensional crystal growth, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth method and computational simulation of two-dimensional materials were studied. Focus on the growth principle, novel physical properties and large-scale preparation of two-dimensional materials such as graphene, semi metal (narrow band gap) and topological insulator.
In the previous work, we developed the direct CVD method based on non-metallic templates, and realized the preparation of graphene single crystal, graphene multi-scale multi-stage structure, MoTe2, ZrTe2, Bi2Se3 and other materials.
