The delicate approach in synthesizing 2D materials plays a pivotal role in unlocking their innate quantum characteristics. These properties stem from a complex interplay of factors such as reduced dimensionality, quantum confinement, coherence, topology, and diverse electron and photon interactions. An intriguing facet of my research proposal lies in harnessing a combination of meticulous material synthesis, heterostructuring, and device engineering to strategically control quantum properties. This endeavor promises unmatched opportunities to explore anticipated new physics.

Thermoelectric materials provide a method to efficiently generate an electrical current using a thermal gradient. Thermoelectric devices have the potential to limit the environmental impact of power generation for small scale applications. The goal of this study was to study the structural aspect, electronic dispersion and phonon dispersion behavior of monolayer MoS2 along with the transport coefficients behavior when strain is applied. Electronic and phonon dispersion calculation was done using quantum espresso and transport coefficient calculation is done using BoltzTrap code.

Graphene is known for its good charge transport properties which make it an interesting potential thermoelectric material. The goal of MTech work was to investigate the thermoelectric properties of zigzag grahene nanoribbon using Tight binding model,wannerized tight binding model, Density Functional Theory and semi-classical Boltzmann Transport Theory. We computed the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and the electrical component of thermal conductivity from all above mentioned methods. Our calculation was done to know the best technique to calculate the transport coefficients. We estimated a ZT of zigzag graphene nanoribbon. The ZT value is strongly dependent on the purity and the quality of the graphene crystal lattice, which affects the relaxation time of charge carriers in these systems. ZT is the main parameter to judge whether a material can be used for a potential thermoelectric material.
