Project TitleStructural and Electronic Properties of BC3 over H-terminated Diamond (100) Heterostructures
SummaryDiamond is an ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor with the highest breakdown field and carrier mobility, making it an attractive material of choice for next-generation high-speed and highpower electronic and RF device applications. Recent studies suggest using a thin layer of 2D materials as the gate dielectric layer to mitigate the limitations of oxide-based acceptor layers. This work will explore the electronic properties of BC3, a 2D material with a band gap, as an acceptor layer
Job Description1) Calculate relaxed structures of BC3 over diamond(100) surfaces
2) Calculate electronic properties of these relaxed materials
3) Begin to prepare a manuscript intended to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal
Computational ResourcesLocal HPC resources. A research supplement will be requested on Expanse and some of those resources will be used for this project.
Contribution to CommunityThe student intended for this project is an underrepresented minority woman. This project will expand the participation of HPC training to to groups traditionally underrepresented in HPC.
Position TypeIntern
Training PlanThe student will regularly meet with the mentor once a week to present results and plan for the upcoming week. During these meetings we will discuss how to perform the calculations necessary to complete the tasks for the upcoming week. These meetings will be supplemented by ad-hoc meetings whenever the student needs guidance.
Student Prerequisites/Conditions/QualificationsHas performed a GPAW calculation on HPC resources
