Through their special electronic properties, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have the potential for various applications in electronics. One of the best studied representative in the group of TMDCs is  molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). By dedicated preparation techniques, one can obtain monolayers of MoS2. Starting from these 2D materials, well-defined coupled organic inorganic nanostructures (COINs) can be prepared. In the course of this PhD project, I will study these systems using different analytical techniques like X-ray photospectroscopy (XPS) , photocurrent measurement  and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The overall aim of the research is to gain a deeper understanding of the influence and interaction of the organic molecules with TMDCs.
