What Are 2D Materials, and Why Do They Interest Scientists? - Technology Org
If you’ve read any stories about quantum research lately, in Columbia News or elsewhere, you may have heard the term 2D or two-dimensional materials.
An illustration of the atomic structure of graphene, a form of ultra-strong 2D carbon.
In January, Columbia chemists published a study about the first 2D heavy fermion, a class of material with very heavy electrons. In November, the Engineering school published a story on “Laser-Driving a 2D Material.” And earlier last year, researchers found both superconductivity and ferroelectricity in the same 2D material. The list goes on.
So, what are 2D materials and why are scientists so interested?
Two-dimensional materials are just what they sound like: Materials that are just 1 or 2 atoms thick but wider in every other direction. Often the 2D materials scientists are working with are a few square micrometers large– invisible to the naked eye, but visible with the kind of microscope you might have used in high school science classes. The 2D materials that scientists are working with are a mix of naturally occurring materials, like graphene, a form of ultra-strong carbon discovered at Columbia in 2004, and materials synthesized in labs, like CeSil, a crystal first assembled at Columbia last year, composed of cerium, silicon, and iodine. These materials usually begin as three-dimensional, and scientists peel them down to two dimensions to run experiments on them and find out what physical properties, like superconductivity or magnetism, might emerge when the materials are atom-flat. Scientists are working on developing new ways to make 2D materials from scratch, without needing to peel them down from 3D, but the quality of these is still imperfect.
Many things make 2D materials interesting but a primary one is that they confine the ways that particles like electrons can move within them. Columbia Chemist Xavier Roy used a traffic analogy to explain:
“Think of it like this: If we had flying cars that could travel in three-dimensional space, we would be able to reduce most of the traffic in New York. But since our current cars can only travel in two-dimensions, we end up with huge traffic jams in Times Square,” Roy said in a recent interview.
“The same thing happens for electrons when we move from 3D to 2D, but in our case, ‘traffic’ between electrons is beneficial! As these electron-electron interactions become stronger, we can completely change the properties of a material. For example, as the thickness of 3D heavy fermion materials is reduced (i.e. as they become more 2D), they can transition from being magnetic to superconducting.”
Two-dimensional materials can also be relatively easily tweaked: Stacking them with slight angles between the layers, applying forces like electric fields and magnetic fields, and straining the materials by twisting or applying pressure to them can change their properties. Take just one example: By simply stacking two sheets of a material called tungsten diselenide on top of each other, twisting them, and adding or removing electric charge, the material can switch from an electricity-conducting metal to an electricity-blocking insulator and back again.
Scientists are also excited by 2D materials’ potential uses in technology, which scientists often refer to as “applications.”
Two-dimensional materials will likely play a vital role in the next generation of electronics, including still-under-development quantum computers. Why? In large part, because 2D materials are ultra-small with unique, controllable properties (like superconductivity), and technology is always on the hunt for something that can achieve results more quickly, more efficiently, and using less space.

"By treating Earth as a topological insulator — a state of quantum matter — physicists found a powerful explanation for the movements of the planet’s air and seas."
(video source)
"Colored according to temperature, Earth’s ocean currents twist and swirl. Some of these currents appear to be roiling and chaotic, but others are orderly and stable, and they fuel large-scale periodic weather patterns."
"In 2017, a trio of physicists applied a different type of thinking to the problem. They began by imagining our planet as a quantum system, and they ended up making an unlikely connection between meteorology and quantum physics. As it turns out, Earth’s rotation deflects the flow of fluids in a way that’s analogous to how magnetic fields twist the paths of electrons moving through quantum materials called topological insulators. If you imagine the planet as a giant topological insulator, they said, you can explain the origin of the equatorial Kelvin waves."
"In this new view of Earth’s flow, a wave’s height corresponds to a magnetic field and its speed corresponds to an electric field. From his work, Tong was able to explain the existence of the coastal Kelvin waves that Thomson originally discovered.
Together, the ideas highlight the ubiquity of topology in our physical world, from condensed matter to the fluids flowing on Earth. “Having these kinds of parallel approaches is a great thing,”(...)."

Physicists receive Keck Foundation boost for quantum materials research - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/physicists-receive-keck-foundation-boost-for-quantum-materials-research-technology-org/
Physicists receive Keck Foundation boost for quantum materials research - Technology Org
Physicists at the University of Texas at Austin and The City College of New York receive a highly competitive $1.1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to explore exotic phases of matter in atomically thin quantum materials. The project is only one of five selected by the foundation this year in the science and engineering category; five more were selected for medical grants.

Vinod Menon, professor of physics in the Division of Science, is the CCNY scientist on the team that also includes UT Austin’s Allan H. MacDonald, Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents Chair in Physics; and assistant professor of physics Edoardo Baldini.
The grant will support three years of research. Over this period, Menon will lead the design and implementation of advanced resonators operating in the infrared to engineer vacuum fluctuations. MacDonald will establish the theoretical framework for exploring atomically thin materials within quantum cavities, while Baldini will investigate the emergence of various phases of matter using state-of-the-art spectroscopy and microscopy tools.
Over the past decade, researchers have designed and built ultrathin materials that exhibit exotic quantum properties that could be useful in a range of applications from quantum computers to transmitting electricity without losing energy. But these quantum properties are often highly unstable, only lasting for very short timescales or at extremely low temperatures. 
Baldini’s lab will develop a new approach to possibly stabilize the useful properties of these materials for far longer and at higher temperatures. This approach involves creating an environment around the material – called a quantum cavity – that harnesses fluctuations in the vacuum electromagnetic field to stabilize the material’s properties. These quantum cavities developed by Menon’s lab will operate in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and integrate atomically thin materials that host exotic quantum phases. The researchers will specifically target superconductivity, a state in which electrons propagate without losing energy. They will also explore “fractional Chern insulator states,” where electrons don’t exhibit their usual electric charge—called the elementary charge—but instead some fraction of it.
