International
RTG 1570 and
SFB 1277 Workshop

Dirac Fermions and Relativistic Effects in 2D Materials

We organize an international workshop on Dirac Fermions and Relativistic Effects in 2D Materials, taking place from Sept 19th to Sept 21st 2018 in Regensburg. The workshop is co-organized by the Research Training Group on Carbon-Based Nanostructures (RTG 1570) and the recently established Collaborative Research Center on Emergent Relativistic Effects in Condensed Matter (SFB 1277). We will focus on relativistic properties of electrons in graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides and other two-dimensional materials, in particular the presence of Dirac fermions, effects of spin-orbit coupling, or proximity effects in van der Waals heterostructures. We will discuss, for example, electronic transport, optical properties, or plasmonic effects in those materials.

The workshop will be located in the Thon-Dittmer-Palais, right in the historic city center of Regensburg, a world cultural heritage site.

The workshop is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the University Foundation Hans Vielberth.

In addition to the invited speakers and participants from Regensburg University, we welcome a number of participants from outside Regensburg. In this case, a conference fee of 100 Euros will apply. Participants are also invited to submit an abstract for a poster presentation.
