KOSKI RESEARCH GROUP

The Koski group is a low-dimensional materials group. We are developing the basic science needed to translate the extraordinary properties of two-dimensional materials into real-world applications. We pursue a fully integrated research program spanning the gamut from solid-state synthesis to fundamental condensed matter physics to applied performance... The materials we develop exhibit a wide range of unique phenomena such as topological insulator behavior, charge density waves, and acoustic plasmons. We are currently developing the techniques and materials to establish the fundamental physics unique to 2D and intercalated layered materials. For example, as 2D materials become integrated into new technologies and material dimensions are reduced below an acoustic mean free path length, quantized phonon effects impact heat transport, interfere with electronic transport, and alter material mechanical properties. Therefore, we are using Brillouin laser light scattering, a non-invasive..
