Growth of silicon carbide and graphene for energy and new approaches

Silicon carbide is commonly studied for transistors. Our group explores alternative approaches in growth and applications. Doped silicon carbide is studied for light emitting or photovoltaic properties for white LED, solar cell, or water splitting to generate hydrogen. Also, we explore graphene grown on silicon carbide, and carbon allotropes on graphene to pave way for new surface or electrode template materials.
