Layer-Resolved Electronic Structure of Oxide Heterostructures using High Energy X-Ray Spectroscopy

Explore layer-resolved electronic structures of oxide heterostructures through high-energy techniques in this 47-minute lecture by D. D. Sarma. Part of the "Engineered 2D Quantum Materials" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, this talk delves into the fascinating world of 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 novel spectroscopic methods for investigating artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces and van der Waals materials. Discover how frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces and enhanced interlayer interactions lead to new electronic band structures and emergent behaviors not found in bulk systems.
