73 IUVSTA Workshop on

Nanostructures on two-dimensional solids

Scope:

Within the last decade, exfoliated graphene, an all-surface material with extraordinary physical properties, initiated an extremely fruitful research topic in nanostructure science, namely research on two-dimensional (2D) solids. In the meantime, the family of 2D materials has been extended by hexagonal boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, silicene, etc. Besides the exploration of those materials' fundamental properties, there is an emerging research community studying the formation of nanostructures on them.

The aim of this specialized IUVSTA workshop is to discuss the potential of two-dimensional crystallites and ultrathin solids as templates for nanostructure arrays of metallic, magnetic, semiconducting, organic, and biological materials.

Nanostructures on two-dimensional solids

Nanostructures on two-dimensional solidsMain topics

1. Synthesis and characterization of inorganic and organic nanostructures on: graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, silicene, and related

materials - Nanostructure fabrication by self-assembly and scanning probe microscopy assisted techniques- Physical and chemical characterization of nanostructure arrays

2. Surface diffusion phenomena on and below two-dimensional solids- Experimental and theoretical exploration of basic atomic and molecular

diffusion mechanisms on top and below 2D solids.- Analogies to semiconductor nanomembranes and topological

insulators

3. Potential applications of nanostructure arrays on two-dimensional materials- Potential applications ranging from magnetism via transparent conductive electrodes to biosensors etc.

ObjectivesThe workshop gathered leading experts, as well as Post-Docs and Ph. D. students in the emerging field of nanostructures on graphene-like materials. Besides invited lectures, contributed talks, and poster presentations, also a round table discussion has been held to evaluate the future potential of the field.

+ Poster Session

Poster PresentationsPosters were on display during the entire workshop. The poster presentations on Tuesday and

Wednesday were an important part of the conference with ample of time for discussion.There was an oral poster advertisement session where each poster was presented in maximum

6 minutes using a maximum of 6 powerpoint slides.

Poster PrizesThe two Poster Prizes of 100 € each - sponsored by the Austrian Vacuum Society and selected by a distinguished jury - were awarded for the best poster presentation by young scientists to:

Dr. Susanne Hahne, University of Osnabrück, Germany and Okan Deniz, EMPA, Switzerland
