Description

Two dimensional (2D) materials have gained a very dominating position in the world of quantum materials due to their high potential for advanced applications in flexible electronics, optoelectronics, energy storage, catalysis, spintronics etc. An enormous playground exists in developing 2D van der Waals heterostructure by combining a variety of 2D materials for realising extraordinary properties. In this talk, I will present some interesting properties of 2D materials regarding their peculiar electronic and magnetic properties revealed by sophisticated quantum mechanical simulations. Effects of doping and defects will be presented. Proximity induced modifications of electronic and magnetic properties of 2D heterostructure will be demonstrated too.
