Ultra-high and directional THz-confinement in LaAlO3 (LAO) twin-walls
Javier Taboada Gutierrez (University of Geneva)

Controlling how light propagates and is confined on nanometre scales is a central challenge in both fundamental photonics research and the development of nanoscale optical technologies. Strong progress in this area has come from using crystal anisotropy to guide...

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.
