Explore the fascinating world of chiral phonons and their giant effective magnetic moments in this 27-minute conference talk by Swati Chaudhary from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into 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 frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces, enhanced interlayer interactions, and emergent behaviors unique to artificially engineered heterostructures. Discover the implications of this research for fields including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other innovative layered structures.
