Charge-Density Wave Driven Giant Thermionic-Current Switching

Explore the phenomenon of charge-density wave driven giant thermionic-current switching in a 24-minute lecture by Mehak Mahajan from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fascinating world of engineered 2D quantum materials, focusing on emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena in two-dimensional synthetic structures. Gain insights into the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in reduced dimensionality systems. Learn about artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other novel moire or layered materials. Discover how frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces and enhanced interlayer interactions can lead to new electronic band structures and emergent behaviors not found in bulk systems.
