The Graduate Center, CUNY
This is an intensive workshop on the physics of two-dimensional materials with particular emphasis to their electronic and optical properties. The most important classes of materials and functionalities will be covered, including graphene, semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and insulator hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN). This workshop provides a general overview to the 2D material platform, starting from fundamental properties to the most recent scientific advances in the fields of physics, photonics and optoelectronics.
The following topics will be covered:
- Basic properties of 2D crystals: lattice structure, electronic band diagram, mechanical properties
- Fabrication: mechanical exfoliation, synthesis and growth, heterostructure assembly
- Optical properties: optics with graphene, excitons in 2D semiconductors
- Valleytronics: spin-valley physics and optical properties at the band edge
- Structural defects: quantum emission from point defects, topological defects
Prerequisites: Solid state physics
