2D and Low Dimensional Materials V : 2D Magnetism 5

Abstract

Research on the synthesis and the applications of various low-dimensional materials (0D, 1D, and layered 2D materials) are the themes of this symposium. These materials' unique properties, differing or exceeding those of their bulk crystal counterparts, are of potential scientific and technological importance. Materials of central importance to this symposium include 2D layered materials such as graphene, boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides and oxides, topological insulators superconductors, Xenes, etc., as well as their 0D and 1D counterparts and various heterostructural combinations. Due to widespread interest, a Special Topic Session on 2D magnetism is organized. Magnetism plays pivotal roles for a wide range of significant technologies such as data storage and biomedical imaging and continues to exhibit new phenomena in emerging materials at reduced dimensions. Magnetic 2D layered materials, experimentally discovered in 2017, are ideal platforms where both crystalline structural order and long-range magnetic order coexist in the atomic-thin region. The integration of 2D magnets with disparate electronic and photonic 2D materials opens up remarkable opportunities for designer quantum heterostructures with previously inaccessible magnetoelectric and magneto-optical properties. This Special Topic Session will collect abstracts on 2D magnet physics and modeling, various synthesis and characterization of 2D magnets and related heterostructures, and quantum transport and tunneling properties of 2D materials-based spintronic devices. This symposium aims to explore, through the contributions of leading researchers, new methodologies and breakthroughs in low-dimensional materials and identify constraining issues to future development.
