Description:

Title: Heterostructures of 2D materials

Speaker: Dr. David Abergel, Nordita

Abstract: Two-dimensional materials are currently a very exciting topic
in condensed matter physics. It is possible to combine 2D materials into
a variety of heterostructures, which creates the opportunity for many
interface effects. In this talk, we will give an overview of the current
status of the field and describe some of its exciting prospects and
challenges. Then, we shall focus on the fundamental physical effects
which can be seen in vertical or lateral heterostructures: the nature of
the interlayer interactions, the possible existence of excitonic
superfluidity, and the robustness of topologically protected
current-carrying states in nanoribbons..
