Electronic and Optical Properties of 2D Materials

last virtual meeting of the GDR for this academic year (proposed by Salome Forel, LMI, Lyon) : Tuesday, 16 July 2024, 11h :

Humberto Terrones (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA),

Electronic and Optical Properties of 2D Materials

Abstract : 2-D materials have attracted great attention in recent years due to the evidence of extraordinary electronic and optical properties for developing new materials for quantum applications. I will review the main electronic and optical properties of graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and h-BN focusing on the nonlinear properties of TMDs and single photon emission (SPE) in h-BN. I will make a case for revisiting the synthesis of TMDs nanotubes and h-BN nanotubes for quantum applications such as photon entanglement and SPE. The role of defect engineering in the control of quantum properties will be discussed.

After years of research, new high-end applications of SWCNTs are emerging, often developed jointly between academic labs and industrial partners. Examples include SWCNT-based MOSFETs (TSMC), CNT-RAM non-volatile memories (Fujitsu), dense Nanotube mats for fuel cell electrodes (NAWA Technologies)...
This discussion will take place in Lyon from Monday, June 10th starting at 14:00, until Tuesday, June 11th at 17:30.

Lavoisier discussion GDR HOWDI/NAME : Thermal properties of 2D materials, Lyon, May 6-7, 2024

Inscriptions and poster submissions are now open for the joint-event GDR-NAME and GDR-HOWDI on Thermal Properties of 2D materials.

Please visit the website to register and submit your posters (registration deadline 19 April 2024).

The two-day workshop will take place in Lyon on May 6th and 7th, 2024, (starting at 12:00 PM on Monday and concluding around 4:00 PM on Tuesday)

The aim of this workshop is to provide a comprehensive overview of the thermal transport properties of 2D materials from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Our focus will be on transport properties of 2D materials and heterostructures with detailed discussions on state-of-the-art techniques and future prospects.

Each session will feature keynote lectures followed by ample time for discussion, aiming to stimulate brainstorming and foster future collaborations at the intersection of these two communities.

The workshop will cover the following themes:

2D materials for thermal energy conversion
Phononics and straintronics of 2D materials
Thermal properties of 2D materials
Processing techniques to adapt thermal properties
Characterization techniques to probe thermal and acoustic properties
Simulation techniques from the atomic to the mesoscale
Industrial needs and future prospects
