Van der Waals materials Workshop | MaNEP Switzerland Network

The van der Waals materials workshop series’ main purpose is to keep each other informed of the latest Swiss developments in this field. We aim to create a place to discuss pressing scientific issues, and establish collaborations whenever beneficial. With this in mind, we would like to bring together all interested groups working on van der Waals materials – from crystal-growers, to spectroscopists, device-makers, and theorists.

The first meeting was held in January 2020. The second was held online on June 24th, 2021.

The program of our last meeting was the following:

12:45	Virtual corridor meeting
13:15	Ignacio Gutierrez Lezama (UniGE): “Ionic-liquid gating of 2D semiconducting TMDs and their heterostructures”
13:50	Märta Tschudin (UniBAS): “Quantum sensing of van der Waals magnets at cryogenic temperatures”
14:25	Oded Zilberberg (ETHZ): “Electrically-tunable flat bands, topology, and magnetism in twisted bilayer graphene”
15:00-15:15	Virtual corridor meeting
15:15	Folkert de Vries (ETHZ): “Engineered correlated states in twisted double bilayer graphene”
15:50	Philip Moll (EPFL): “Layered metals in 3D: New directions beyond the flatland”
16:25	Virtual corridor meeting

Organizers: Ana Akrap UniFR, Alberto Morpurgo, UniGE
