CSP - The 3rd International Conference on Physics of 2D Crystals (ICP2C3)
Abstract
ICP2C3 will cover a variety of topics ranging from fundamental physics to applications ofnew two-dimensional crystals and crystal structures including graphene, molybdenum disulphide(MoS2), hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and hybrid perovskites. Electronic, optical,mechanical and chemical properties of the 2D crystals will be in the focus of discussion.We are seeking financial support to assist in the organization of a dedicated hBN workshopwill take place during the ICP2C3 meeting. This will bring together international expertsfrom all aspects of hBN research, ranging from growth, characterization, theoretical aspects,to applications and devices. In particular, work focused on both CVD and bulk hBN crystalgrowth will be discussed, nanophotonics, quantum optics, biosensing/imaging,nanoelectronics and thermal properties of this exciting and emerging 2D material.The conference topics will be of great interest to the Department of the Navy (DON) andDepartment of Defense (DoD) activities. Quantum information is a particularly importantarea of interest to the DoD with a TriServices project involving the Service Labs (AFRL, NRL,ARL) focused on developing novel technologies for quantum emitters and quantuminformation approaches. It has been recently demonstrated that point defects within hBNoffer a novel, polarized single photon emitter, similar to nitrogen-vacancy centers indiamond or divacancies in silicon carbide, useful for quantum information processing.Additional benefits in the realm of nanophotonics include the potential to use the naturalhyberbolic response of this material as the basis of active, compact infrared opticalcomponents, sources and detectors. Such advances promise to revolutionize IR imaging,molecular sensing, and detection schemes, as well as serve as the basis for IR beacons inautomated targeting, free-space communications and identify-friend-foe applications.Hexagonal BN is also considered the ideal substrate for graphene, thus is necessary for anyadvanced graphene-based electronic, optical and opto-electronic application. Participantsinclude current and former DON and DoD employees, but also present a broad cross-sectionof world-leaders in 2D materials and hBN research from over 13 countries and we anticipatecontributions from many more. This will provide USA and DoD researchers with directaccess to the current state-of-the-art and allow them to provide direct input into the futuredirections needed for this material to be further advanced.
