3rd DGKK Workshop on “Growth Kinetics, Layer Transfer of Ultrathin Layers and 2D Materials”

On September 15 and 16, the third workshop of the DGKK working group “Ultrathin Layer Systems, Growth Kinetics and Layer Transfer” took place at IKZ. Following the successful launch of this new format in 2023, the event was held again this year, bringing together around 40 participants from science and research.

Participants of the 3rd DGKK Workshops on “Growth Kinetics, Layer Transfer of Ultrathin Layers and 2D Materials”

 

Across a total of 13 presentations, current developments and challenges in materials research were highlighted. The thematic focus ranged from freestanding oxides and the growth of 2D-vdW materials in experiment and simulation to novel magnetic 2D materials and ultrathin SiGe heterostructures.

With contributions from experts from RWTH Aachen, TU Dresden, TU Darmstadt, MPI Stuttgart, PDI, and IKZ, the workshop provided a diverse platform for interdisciplinary exchange.
