Abstract

As the size of transistors and components on silicon chips approaches the quantum limit, further increase in device densities on chips to satisfy the exploding demand for computational power and memory storage capacities becomes not scalable. A possible solution to this challenge is to stack and integrate layers of devices along the third dimension, which requires developing devices on thin layered materials with Si-CMOS compatibility. In this talk, I will describe a class of two-dimensional quantum materials that are atomically thin and exhibit novel properties that are promising for frontier scientific explorations and technological applications, including for beyond Si-CMOS technologies.
