Research Interest

The ORGIU research group focuses on understanding novel electronic and optical phenomena occuring in molecular solids such as organic (semi)conductors or 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). The research group activity involves micro- and nanofabrication of two- and three-terminal devices (capacitors, diodes, transistors) and their characterization at low T (down to 1.8 K) and under high magnetic fields (up to 9 T). In particular, the research interests of the newly formed group will be devoted to the understanding of magnetoresistance, thermal transport and thermoelectricity within the above-mentioned (semi)conductor systems. All these combined measurements can provide a great deal of information on the electronic properties of the materials and their potential for being used in applications for energy or electronics.
