2nd Graphene Flagship EU-US Workshop on 2D Materials, Heterostructures and Devices

The EU-US Workshop was held at the National Graphene Institute in Manchester (UK) during 10-12 October 2016. The workshop provided an open technical forum that brought together leading researchers from the US and Europe to discuss cutting-edge research in 2D materials, their heterostructures, and devices based on such materials. The aim was to facilitate scientific exchanges and discuss needs and mechanisms for future collaborations.

Overview

This workshop, focused on 2D materials beyond graphene and their heterostructures addressed:

  • techniques that can enable the scalable synthesis of these materials;
  • controlling layer number and defect density;
  • understanding doping mechanisms and optimizing contacts for device research;
  • physical properties of planar and vertical heterostructures of 2D materials;
  • developing predictive modeling and simulation techniques, including 2DM discovery;
  • new in-situ and ex-situ characterization techniques to measure material properties.


The workshop provided an open technical forum that brings together leading researchers from the US and Europe to discuss cutting-edge research in 2D materials, their heterostructures, and devices based on such materials; it aimed to catalyse collaborations that could lead to bi-lateral personnel exchange at all levels; discuss synergistic mechanisms for sharing research infrastructure to streamline efforts and consolidate resources. As a part of the workshop, three Flagship work packages ‘Enabling Science’, ‘Enabling Materials’, and ‘Spintronics’ had an Open Division-I meeting. The workshop involves the EU Graphene Flagship program administrators and the NSF program directors for planning future collaborative programs.
