HYBRID EVENT

Organised within the ICMAB Schools on Frontiers in Materials Science and Condensed Matter.

Lecturers:

• Prof. Harold Y. Hwang, Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Science (SIMES), Stanford University, USA
• Dr. Lena Bascones, ICMM-CSIC, Spain
• Prof. Nini Pryds, Center for Quantum Technologies, Denmark
• Invited Seminar by Prof. Jacobo Santamaria, UCM, Spain

About the school:

Recent developments in materials growth and characterization have given rise to a new class of freestanding materials comprising nanomembranes, 2D layers and topological structures of strongly correlated systems with unique mechanical, chemical and physical properties. Their selfsupported nature allows for greater flexibility in application as well as ease of heterointegration in various systems ranging from polymers to traditional semiconductors paving the way for new applications and practical innovations.

These breakthroughs have gained attention of the scientific community to overcome challenges in synthesis and stability, better understand the origin of the observed exotic behavior, compare them with traditional 2D materials, and search for new phenomena.

The school on 2D MATERIALS offers a unique opportunity to learn and understand from experts in this field the basics on the materials synthesis and the physics behind the exotic properties that these single crystalline membranes display, providing relevant examples. The school will also cover the novel field of stacking and twisting of correlated oxide membranes, potential scenarios to obtain emerging properties along with exposing challenges and perspectives. Finally, a theoretical overview of twisted 2D materials will be taught.
