Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have exciting fundamental properties and a wide range of potential applications. This mini-colloquium will explore recent developments in the physics of 2D materials, across the physics, chemistry, and engineering of 2D systems. Contributions are invited on synthesis methods, structural characterization, theoretical modelling, and device-oriented implementation. Central themes include how growth conditions, substrate interactions, functionalisation, and interfacial structure influence the electronic, chemical, and morphological behaviour of 2D materials [1-3]. The colloquium will further address dynamic processes such as lattice vibrations and charge dynamics, as well as interactions with the environment including molecular adsorption and ambient effects that shape the stability, performance and potential use of 2D materials [4]. The colloquium aims to strengthen scientific exchange within the Austrian 2D materials community and beyond, offering a platform to discuss emerging concepts and theoretical-experimental synergies.
