RIXS in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Materials: Examples from the Hard X-ray Regime
Julia Küspert (Grenoble)

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) allows to study electronic and magnetic excitations and their momentum and energy dependencies. For example, the absence of dd excitations at the interfaces of KTaO3 films suggests a deficiency of localized Ta 5d electrons...

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.
