Moiré-trapped Excitons and Excitonic Complexes

Explore the fascinating world of Moiré-trapped excitons and excitonic complexes in this 52-minute lecture by Kausik Majumdar from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the cutting-edge research on 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 novel concepts such as flat bands, twisted van der Waals materials, and moire structures. Discover how these artificially engineered heterostructures lead to emergent behaviors unattainable in bulk systems. This lecture is part of a comprehensive program covering topics ranging from magnetism and topological superconductivity to quantum simulators using engineered 2D materials.
