2D Materials

2D Materials Publications

The emerging class of materials that are comprised of a single atom layer or unit cell is presenting a broad swath of exciting new opportunities for physics and materials. Since these systems are essentially 100% interface, they present and unprecedented opportunity for controlling materials properties via surface modifications ranging from covalent functionalization, to the emerging technique of "Van DerWaals epitaxy" (stacking flakes of different materials), to the exploration of proximity effects when 2D materials are placed in contact with bulk materials exhibiting correlated electronic states (i.e. magnetism and superconductivity). We have a developing effort at exploring and exploiting these opportunities to study spin, magnetic, and topological phenomena that are not readily accessible in bulk materials.
