Dear Colleagues,

With this email we would like to draw your attention to the symposia

C5:   "New physics in 2D materials and van der Waals multilayers"
C7:   "Twisted bilayer materials"

which will be held as part of the Psi-k conference 2022 in Lausanne (August 22nd-25th 2022).

The symposium C5 will focus on recent advances in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials where new physics arises as a result of quantum- and dielectric confinement and manifests itself in the form of anisotropy-driven magnetism, charge density waves, novel superconducting phases, and complex excitonic states.

The symposium C7 deals with recent advances in the booming field of twisted bilayer materials: flat bands, superconductivity, Mott insulator, topological phases, and other phenomena. In particular, we will discuss how ab-initio and semi-empirical approaches can be combined to unravel new physics.

The deadline for the abstract submission for presentation of a contributed talk to the symposium is May 31st.

    Sincerely,

    The organizers,
    Kristian Thygesen, Fabio Caruso, Johannes Lischner, Thomas Olsen, Ludger Wirtz
