Properties and Applications of 2D Materials and Heterostructures

The 2018 Gordon Conference on Two Dimensional Electronics Beyond Graphene will present cutting-edge research addressing the fundamental properties and potential uses of atomically thin materials and their heterostructures. The field of 2D materials now includes semiconductors, metals hosting complex phenomena such as superconductivity, topological materials, and magnets. Interdisciplinary research driven by experimentalists and theorists in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Device Engineering contributes to continued growth in this area. Presentations and discussions will focus on questions including:

• What is the state of the art in the synthesis of 2D materials?
• What is the state of the art of assembly of 2D heterostructures, and creation of 3D structures from 2D layers?
• What are their optoelectronic properties and applications, including quantum and nonlinear optics?
• How are these materials suited for spintronic and magnetic applications?
• What are the grand challenges involved in modeling of 2D materials and heterostructures?
• How do complex phenomena such as superconductivity and topological phases behave in the 2D limit?
• What devices and systems are emerging as the most promising applications of 2D materials?
