Engineered 2D Materials - The Heterostructure Effect

Explore the fascinating world of engineered 2D quantum materials in this comprehensive lecture on "The Heterostructure Effect" by Surajit Saha. Delve into the cutting-edge developments in two-dimensional synthetic structures of quantum materials, focusing on emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena. Discover how reduced dimensionality and the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology lead to novel collective phenomena in artificially engineered heterostructures. Learn about oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, twisted cuprates, and other innovative layered materials. Gain insights into topics such as magnetism and topological superconductivity, flat bands and band topology, correlated phenomena in twisted structures, Kondo lattice physics, skyrmions, and quantum simulators. This lecture is part of the "Engineered 2D Quantum Materials" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, bringing together physicists and materials scientists to explore the frontiers of quantum materials research.
