Simulating Two-Dimensional Materials with Strong Correlation Effects

Explore a 38-minute symposium talk that delves into the revolutionary developments in condensed-matter physics over the past two decades, focusing on two-dimensional crystals and heterostructure meta-materials. Learn about groundbreaking discoveries in graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides, and atomically precise interfaces, with particular emphasis on simulation challenges in quasi-2D materials exhibiting strong correlation effects. Examine the complex phase diagram of ultrathin SrVO3 films and their potential application in Mott transistors, while understanding the relationship between non-local fluctuations and momentum-dependent renormalizations. Discover the concept of "Coulomb engineering" in 2D Mott materials and its implications for creating novel sensors and circuitry through controlled insulator-to-metal transitions via dielectric environment manipulation.
