    • Exfoliation and sensing application of 2D - materials 

      BICCAI, SONIA (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2020)
      In the past decade, graphene and layered material such as Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have been investigated for their importance in several applications. For example, these ...

    • Liquid Phase Exfoliation of 2D Materials under Ambient Conditions 

      Boland, John Brendan (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2021)
      A technique developed by the Coleman group in 2008 called liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) has been shown to be effective for the delamination of any material exhibiting a layered structure. Molybdenum dioxide ...

    • Morphological & Electrical Characterisation of Nanosheet Networks 

      Doolan, Luke (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2025)
      Since the discovery of the stability and excellent electrical properties of the graphene monolayer, there has been a great deal of excitement about the superlative electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of 2D ...

    • The Optics and Photonics of Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials 

      O'BRIEN, STEPHEN ADRIAN (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2020)
      In this work, by using a broadspectrum angle-resolved absorption technique, we studied enhanced absorption from multi-layered materials with near-zero dielectric permittivity in the near-infrared. These materials, known ...

    • Optimisation of Electrolytically-gated Thin Film Transistors made from Printed Nanosheet Networks 

      Ó Súilleabháin, Dómhnall (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)
      Networks of two-dimensional nanosheets show great potential in a wide variety of different applications, with particular focus on the area of printed electronics. One of the main issues facing such nanosheet network ...

    • Printed Electronics from Solution-Processed 2D Materials 

      KELLY, ADAM (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2018)
      The fervour created in the wake of the graphene gold-rush has fuelled investigative momentum over the last decade. The maturity of liquid-phase processing has meant that solution-processed layered crystals can be now be ...

    • Solution Processed Semiconducting Nanosheet Networks Towards Optoelectronic Applications 

      Liu, Shixin (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)
      Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs) are attractive materials owing to their superb electronic and optoelectronic properties. The great advancement of material exfoliation and thin film ...

    • Two-Dimensional Materials for Tissue Engineering and Neural Interfacing Applications 

      Maughan, Jack (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, School of Physics, 2025)
      The pages of a book behave very strangely compared to a block of wood - two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are no different. Offering unique properties that differ from their bulk counterparts, this simple change in ...
