The course will introduce students to the unique and exciting physics of two-dimensional electronic systems that are realized in van der Waals heterostructures and other material platforms. It will cover some fundamentals concepts in 2D electronic systems, including the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects, Berry phase and its role for the electronic properties, the BKT superconducting transition, localization, and other topological or superconducting electronic phenomena. In addition, the course will cover recent progress in 2D flat electronic bands, where strong interactions produce several novel electronic phases.
Target group: All graduate students who are interested in 2D materials and the physics of electronic phenomena in these systems.
