Expérimental
Research on new thermoelectric (TE) devices and materials for thermal management at nanoscale is highly demanded in nanoelectronics. In particular, energy conversion of TE nanogenerators aims to recover waste heat in nanoelectronics, improving device performances. In this context, the discovery of 2D materials has open new routes of investigation, high efficiencies have been predicted in graphene nanostructures and transition metal dicalcogenides (TMD). The main goal of the internship is to experimentally investigate the electric, thermoelectric and thermal properties of devices based on nanostructured graphene. Nanostructuring will be engineered by a network of holes, aiming to reduce the phonon mean free path without affecting significantly the electron mean free path.
