2D Photonic Materials and Devices VIII

Atomically thin 2D materials have recently emerged as attractive optoelectronic and quantum material platforms. These atomically layered materials exist in metallic, dielectric, and semiconducting form, and exhibit unusual properties, such as high-mobility of carriers in graphene, strong light-matter interactions in transition metal di-chalcogenides, anisotropic optoelectronic properties in black phosphorus, and magnon-exciton coupling in 2D semiconducting magnets. These materials can be transferred either on top of each other to form heterostructures (with or without Moire lattice periodic potentials), or onto any substrate for integrated photonics, as the interaction is via van der Waals force and no explicit lattice matching is required. These unique properties enable novel device applications, especially in material platforms, where growing quantum wells will be very difficult. The field of 2D and quantum materials, and optoelectronics devices based on these atomically layered materials, has consistently seen rapid advances in exciting experimental demonstrations and theoretical results. This conference aims to provide an international forum for presenting the latest results and reviewing technologies relevant to new physics and devices using atomically layered materials. Prospective authors are invited to submit original experimental and theoretical papers dealing with enabling technology for 2D materials-based device integration in nanophotonics and quantum technologies.
