报告摘要：

Low-dimensional materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and black phosphorus have gained significant interest as one of the most promising materials for optoelectronics and bioelectronics due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Recently we have studied the photocurrent generation mechanisms in low-dimensional materials and their hybrids through scanning photocurrent measurements. Moreover, carbon nanotube based optoelectronic probes have been combined with optical trapping techniques to directly measure the binding force between a single DNA molecule and a carbon nanotube. We have also integrated graphene optoelectronic probes with microfluidic platforms to explore the electrical activity in neuronal networks.
