Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Salvador Barraza‐Lopez studies the physical properties of two-dimensional materials, including group-IV monochalcogenide monolayers and transition-metal dichalcogenide bilayers. His research investigates their mechanical, electronic, optical, and piezoelectric characteristics. Recent work has explored ferroelectric domains in lateral heterostructures, anomalous thermoelectricity in strained monolayers, and the creation of intrinsic electric dipoles in rotated bilayers. He also examines substrate interference and strain effects on second-harmonic generation from MoSe₂ monolayers.
