**Probing and tuning the electronic properties of low dimensional van der
Waals materials**
Francesco Calavalle
Nanodevices Group, CIC nanoGUNE
The investigation on the physical properties of new materials is of
fundamental importance to gain understanding and knowledge on systems and
phenomena which one day may be exploited for revolutionary technological
applications. In this regard, probing and tuning the electronic transport
properties of low-dimensional materials might represent one of the routes that
can satisfy the requirements of modern electronics/spintronics advancements.
Following the common thread of investigating and manipulating the transport
properties of low dimensional and low symmetrical systems, this thesis will be
divided in two main parts. In the first part molecular functionalization is
exploited to tune the intrinsic physical properties of two van der Waals
materials: a superconductor and a ferromagnet. The second part focuses on the
study of the charge to spin interconversion mechanisms in low symmetry
systems. In particular, the study of the magnetoelectrical properties of
Tellurium nanowires revealed a tight relationship between spin related
phenomena and the symmetry breaking in such a chiral system.
