Introductions

The international workshop will be organized by the research team of Professor Ming-Fa Lin at the Department of Physics, NCKU. This workshop will be the bridge between many research groups from Taiwan, the US, and Vietnam. In particular, this will be a place for young researchers, postdocs, Ph.D. students, and master students to present their latest ideas and results.

Since the first discovery of graphene through mechanical exfoliation of a graphite surface. Other group IV systems have attracted a great deal of interest from theoretical and experimental scientists. Besides studying the intrinsic features of such systems in pristine cases, understanding the oxidation and hydrogenation of these systems has been critical to the success of all types of 2D materials, which are the cornerstones of modern nanomaterial technologies. For example, compared with graphene, graphene oxide exhibits a unique property in that its electrical conductivity and optical transparency are significantly dependent on the degree of oxidation. As for silicene, the previous results showed that the tunable band gap in different silicene buckling structures by controllable oxidation processes. Obviously, this opening silicene bandgap by oxidation is much more outstanding than those induced by the vertical electric field. The exciting results of the oxidation of graphene and silicene systems have paved the way for further studies in other group IV systems as germanene, stanene, plumbene in pristine cases or the functionalization of these systems. Furthermore, a similar manner can be applied to the cases of hydrogenation, halogenation, and alkalization.

This workshop focuses primarily on computational simulation and experimental research of emerging materials, quantum topological materials, electrode and electrolyte materials for ion-based batteries. Besides, attendees can learn knowledge, computational or simulation software skills, and how to use new technologies.

We cordially invite all the scientific community to participate in this conference, presenting orals related to any proposed topics.

Room of the conference: Room 36567, Third Floor, Department of Physics, NCKU, Tainan, Taiwan.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Department of Physics, NCKU, Tainan!
