Date & Time: Feb 14 2025 | 11:30am - 12:30pm Location: iSTEM Building 2, Room 1218 Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT) is a useful synthetic method for low-dimensional nanomaterials. This seminar will discuss how we’ve used it to achieve high-quality 1-D and 2-D material synthesis at high yields and larger scales than previously reported for transition metal chalcogenides and transition metal chalcohalides, and how CVT has been used for the controlled growth of several uranium and thorium chalcogenides. With polymorph control confirmed via several definitive characterization techniques, and large single crystals grown, we’ll investigate the magnetic properties of the uranium tri-tellurides. Furthermore, we’ll discuss how additional uranium and thorium chalcogenides at unmatched dimensions have been synthesized via CVT, along with the novel solid-solution of ThxU1-xTe3.
