            style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Transition
            metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) present a broad family of
            two-dimensional (2D) materials with properties ranging from
            insulators to superconductors. With the general formula of
            MX<sub>2</sub>, the monolayer (1L) material consists of one
            plane of transition metal atoms M which is sandwiched
            between two planes of chalcogen atoms X. The most
            investigated TMD material is molybdenum disulfide – MoS<sub>2</sub>.
            This semiconductor has a bandgap in the visible spectrum,
            making it a promising candidate for application in
            photovoltaics, solar cells, optoelectronics, field effect
            transistors [1-3]. Due to its 2D nature, MoS<sub>2</sub> is
            extremely susceptible to the environment: humidity,
            temperature, exposure to atmosphere [4]. For these reasons,
            the synthesis of high-quality monocrystals with
            non-deteriorating properties, is of great importance.
            Optimum synthesis conditions yield high-quality crystalline
            structure, which then in turn, leads to great properties –
            such as optical and electronic.</span></p>
        <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span
            style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">In the first
            part of my seminar I will discuss how different synthesis
            parameters influence the morphology and optical properties
            of MoS<sub>2</sub> samples [6]. In the second part, I will
            present the results of a detailed study on two different MoS<sub>2</sub>
            samples, synthesized under different growth temperatures, in
            order to understand the correlation between growth
            temperature and defects’ nature of the samples [6]. The
            influence of defects on optical and electronic properties is
            investigated with low-temperature photoluminescence
            measurements, room-temperature transient absorption
            microscopy, and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. In the final
            part of my talk, I will discuss how defects can be utilised
            in order to produce new properties in a host material via
            alloying and how apparently identical growth conditions can
            lead to different crystal structures.</span></p>
