The electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are largely dictated by their crystalline structure and can be fine-tuned by substituting metal or organic precursors for analogous counterparts (e.g. Cu atoms for Au atoms). One particular class of MOFs that form a 2D honeycomb-Kagome crystal are interesting for their potential to host correlated-electron phases. The aim of my project is to design a functional solid-state architecture based on such materials, which allows electric-field control of electron-electron interactions and bridges the gap between novel electronic phenomena and their practical implementation in electronic devices.
