Funded Activity Summary

Optimising One-Dimensional van der Waals Heterostructures. This project aims to develop and optimise a new class of nanostructured materials – One-Dimensional van der Waals Heterostructures. These materials are nanoscale versions of coaxial cables, in that they consist of multiple nanotubes ‘stacked’ inside each other, like Russian dolls. These materials constitute an exciting new frontier in materials science, since their properties and applications are limited only by the types of nanotubes in their structure, and the order in which they are stacked. This project will pair cutting-edge experimental synthesis and molecular modelling to establish how these factors can be controlled, delivering function-designable nanomaterials with wide-ranging electronic, mechanical and optical properties.
