ABSTRACT
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND SIMULATION OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS

Lawrence Hudy
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2023Under the Supervision of Professor Michael Weinert
This dissertation focuses on my journey through many aspects of surface science leading to the first principles investigation of transition metal dichalcogenides studying the impact of defects, twist, and decreasing interlayer separation to probe their effect on the electronic properties of these materials. My journey started out learning many aspects of material science such as methods for material synthesis and characterization but later ended on simulation of material properties using density functional theory. In the first experiments, we …
