Workshop
DGKK Seminar on Growth Kinetics and Layer Transfer of Ultrathin Layers and
2D Materials
The 2026 seminar will follow up on the successful 2025 workshop at IKZ in Berlin. A special focus will be placed on 2D layer growth by various methods as well as transfer processes for ultra-thin semiconductor, dielectric and metal films. We are aiming to bring together researchers from different communities to discuss emerging topics in these fields. Presentation of work in progress is welcome.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Synthesis of 2D and 3D materials, nucleation / growth processes, defects, instabilities
- Selective-area epitaxy
- Influence of adlayers on epitaxial (and non-epitaxial) crystal growth
- Formation of ultra-thin layers and nanostructures
- In-situ monitoring of substrate conditions and growth
- Layer transfer and defects in layer structures
- Device results with strong correlation to layer deposition and/or layer properties
- Particular demands of thin-film systems for Qubits, quantum emitters and detectors as well as memristive structures
- Atomistic simulations like DFT, molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte-Carlo
Nov 23 – Nov 24, 2026 (Monday / Tuesday) at (new) Walter-Schottky-Haus (WSH) (4253), Doppelraum B 101, B 102 (4253|101), Sommerfeldstraße 18a, 52074 Aachen
A preliminary program can be found here.
Please note: This is a pure on-site event.
