Explore the fascinating world of two-dimensional materials through this lecture from the Princeton Summer School for Condensed Matter Physics, where Prof. Jeanie Lau from The Ohio State University delves into the unique properties and behaviors of superconductors and semiconductors in flatland geometries. Discover how materials behave when confined to essentially two-dimensional structures, examining the fundamental physics that governs superconductivity in these ultra-thin systems and the distinctive electronic properties that emerge in semiconductor flatlands. Learn about the cutting-edge research methodologies used to study these materials, their potential applications in quantum technologies, and how the reduced dimensionality fundamentally alters the electronic, magnetic, and transport properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Gain insights into the experimental techniques required to fabricate and characterize these atomically thin materials, and understand the theoretical frameworks that explain their exotic behaviors, including quantum confinement effects and the role of interfaces in determining material properties.
