Optical control of correlated spin phases in moiré materials
Tomasz Smolenski (Basel)

Understanding and controlling strongly correlated many-body spin systems is one of the key challenges in modern condensed matter physics. Among the most promising experimental platforms for these explorations are semiconducting moiré materials (SMMs), which consist of...

What is Flat Club?

The Flat Club is an interactive biweekly meeting on the broad topic of two-dimensional materials, interfaces and techniques. Most of the participants are working at the Department of Quantum Matter Physics or Theoretical Physics from the University of Geneva.

The aim of Flat Club is to stimulate discussion amongst the participants, to clearly formulate the relevant and inspiring questions of the field of 2d quantum matter, and to put new results in perspective. 

The range of topics include materials like twisted graphene and TMD structures, 2d magnetic materials and topological insulators, and LAO/STO interfaces. We discuss excitonic and electronic effects, including superconductivity. Techniques like STM, ARPES, SNOM, and transport are discussed.
