Structural and Electronic Properties of MoS2 and Graphene: a Comparative Analysis of MoS2/Graphene Hybrid Structures and Thin Flake Formation

The project aims to analyze the individual properties of MoS2 and graphene and to investigate their combined effects on the electronic and structural properties of the MoS2/graphene van der Waals heterostructure using density functional theory (DFT). In addition, the project focuses on the preparation of different sized flakes of 2D materials by liquid phase exfoliation and the investigation of their morphological and absorption properties.
