Workshop on Graphene and
Topological Insulators
School of Physics, IPM
19-20 October, 2011 |
A two-day workshop on recent progress in
graphene and topological insulators is planned
to be held at IPM, Tehran. This workshop is
intended to provide advanced research
information about the on-going activities in
some of the hottest subjects in contemporary
physics and materials science. Graphene is a
newly realized two-dimensional (2D) electron
system which has engendered a great deal of
interest because of the new physics which
it exhibits and because of its potential as a
new material for electronic technology. Graphene
is considered as a perspective material for
'post-silicon electronics', and the first
graphene transistors and flat touch-screen panel
device have already been created and studied.
Being both transparent and highly conducting,
graphene has a very high potential for use in
optical devices. Furthermore, certain insulators
are characterized by boundary properties that
are highly robust in the presence of disorder,
fluctuations and perturbations. The 2D
topological insulator is a quantum spin Hall
insulator, which is a close relation of the
integer Quantum Hall state. A 3D topological
insulator supports novel spin polarized 2D Dirac fermions on its surface. |
