Summer School 2022 - Quantum Materials Design by Stacking, Sliding and Twisting

Tel Aviv University Nano Center Summer School 2022 - Quantum Materials Design by vdW Stacking, Sliding and Twisting

The in-person 4-days summer school will focus on electronic, optical, and mechanical phenomena stemming from the various stacking configurations and interlayer interactions in van der Waals structures (vdW). The school aims for a broad audience of graduate students (MSc and PhD) through post-docs, scientists, and engineers who wish to develop in the field.

 

The sessions include tutorial talks by international experts, dedicated work-shop sessions on recent challenges/opportunities, and a student poster competition. Research collaborations are further encouraged by social events that introduce the local research atmosphere and culture, including a half-day tour.

 

The Summer School 2022 is supported by:

The British Embassy Israel

Israel Science Foundation

The University of Manchester

Henry Royce Institute

The Tel Aviv University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

 

 

Scope

  • Emergent orders (correlated metals, insulators, magnets, interfacial ferroelectricity)
  • Moire'- free flat band physics (3R stackings, strain)
  • Moire' physics in mismatched hetero-layers and twisted homo-layers
  • Super-lubricity, strain engineering, and vdW mechanics  
  • Non-equilibrium excitations
