"Engineered van der Waals heterostructures for
new quantum material platforms"
Speaker: Prof. Philip Kim
(Harvard)
Abstract:
Over the past 50 years, two-dimensional
(2D) electronic systems have served
as a key material platform for the study
of intriguing quantum phenomena in engineered material systems. More recently,
scientists have found that it is
possible to fabricate atomically thin van
der Waals (vdW) layered materials.
In these atomically thin materials,
quantum physics allows electrons to move
effectively only in a 2D space. By
stacking these 2D quantum materials, it is
also possible to create vdW heterostructures
with a wide range of interfacial
electronic and optical properties. Novel
2D electronic systems realized in vdW
atomic stacks have served as a platform
for engineered quantum materials.
In this talk, we will discuss several
research efforts to realize emergent physical phenomena in stacked atomic thin
film materials and possible applications based
on these materials. I will focus our
discussion on unusual quasiparticle pairing
and emergent physical phenomena associated
with many-body quantum systems enabled in vdW heterostructures.
