Deposition and characterization of two-dimensional materials for avionic and optoelectronic applications

The investigation of 2D materials has gained significant interest due to their unique properties that differentiate them from 3D forms. Research aims to better understand the characteristics of 2D materials and explore their potential applications in various fields. This thesis provides a detailed investigation on the deposition, transfer, characterization of graphene, MXene, and MoS2. The aim is to contribute to future applications. The mentioned 2D materials were obtained using CVD, and their properties were characterized using Raman spectroscopy and AFM. The transfer processes have been carefully examined to ensure their efficient utilization in electronic devices. The primary focus of the thesis is on a new 2D material called MXene. Special attention has been given to the parameters involved in the deposition experiments of MXene, and the results of each experiment have been characterized to obtain insights into its structural properties. These studies reveal the possibility of achieving full coverage Mo2C deposition and Mo2C deposition without graphene. The thesis also presents a study on the conductivity measurements of carbon fibers using graphene as a nano-additive, aiming to develop graphene-based materials for avionic applications. The findings demonstrate an approximate doubling of conductivity when graphene is used in carbon fibers, highlighting its promising potential for applications. Furthermore, the thesis introduces a new 2D structure obtained through the direct growth of semiconducting MoS2 on metallic Mo2C via CVD, which is a novel achievement. This study emphasizes the synergistic effect created by stacking different materials, which is crucial for adjusting optical transitions in optoelectronic applications.
