Van der Waals Epitaxial Growth of 2D and Quasi-2D Materials
Explore the intricacies of van der Waals epitaxial growth of 2D and quasi-2D materials in this 51-minute lecture by Vidya Kochat, presented as part of the "Engineered 2D Quantum Materials" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the latest developments in two-dimensional synthetic structures of quantum materials, focusing on emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena. Gain insights into the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in reduced dimensionality systems. Learn about artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other novel moire or layered 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.
