BIO

I am a Florida State University (FSU) sophomore majoring in chemistry, from Clearwater, Florida. The science of chemistry is my passion. As a chemist, I am determined to understand and analyze the boundless components of the world. Chemistry has numerous areas of study, all of which have individual facets aimed at understanding the world further. As a rising scholar in chemistry, I have many goals related to my studies. I strive to be at the forefront of chemistry. To accomplish this goal, I challenge myself every day through my undergraduate education classes, Learning Assistant position, and research assistantship. After obtaining my B.S. in chemistry, I plan to attend graduate school as a solid-state chemist. From there, I want to devote my career to research and development in the field of inorganic chemistry.

Investigation of Magnetic Properties of Cr-Intercalated VTe2

Abstract

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are layered materials with appealing magnetic and electronic. Nevertheless, in some cases, such as VTe2, air and moisture sensitivity limits their use in real-world applications.1-3 Intercalation of metals between the TMD layers is a viable approach to stabilizing these materials and controlling their magnetic properties.4 In this contribution, we describe intercalation of Cr into the VTe2 structure to yield a new crystalline phase, Cr0.1VTe2. We report characterization of structural and magnetic properties of this compound and theoretical calculations aimed to help with interpretation of the experimental results.
