FUNLAYERS: Workshop on “Emergent properties of heterostructures”
- Start: Oct 23, 2023 09:00 AM (Local Time Germany)
- End: Oct 25, 2023 07:30 PM
- Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, 06120 Halle (Saale)
The workshop is part of the European Project FUNLAYERS – “Functional Layered Materials for Advanced Applications” and will bring together experts to discuss recent development and future directions in the broad area of emergent properties of heterostructures.
Specifically, the workshop will focus on two topics:
- Topic 1: Emergent phenomena such as topological superconductivity that arise at the interfaces between distinct materials, control of the electronic properties of heterostructures via strain, curvature, and piezoelectricity, and the interplay between geometric chirality and spin chirality.
-
Topic 2: Recent developments and future perspectives for
layered materials for energy applications. This includes improving our
understanding of the physical and chemical processes that arise during
electrochemical ion insertion and exfoliation, the functionality of
two-dimensional organic filters, ion dynamics in novel liquid
electrolytes for next-generation battery concepts, and on-water surface
synthesis.
