NESY Winterschool 2024

Hosted in the picturesque town of Bad Aussee, the 12th NESY Winterschool took place from 25th of February to 1st of March, 2024, after being on Covid-related hiatus since 2019.  Organized by Dr. Lechner from the Chair of Physics at MUL, it presented a valuable opportunity to expand knowledge about the usage of synchrotron and neutron radiation sources, and to exchange insights with the Austrian user communities.

Keynote lectures by internationally acclaimed scientists like C. Detlefs (ESRF, Grenoble), T. Grüne (Univ. Vienna), T.C. Hansen (ILL, Grenoble), R. Treusch (FLASH, DESY Hamburg) and H.-G. Steinrück (FZ Jülich) were the highlights of the symposium, while tutorials by experienced users from local universities and contributed talks by participants of the school made for a comprehensive program.

In the afternoons, some free time was allocated to leisure activities, which was used by participants for skiing, exploring the town or socializing around the pool billiard table.

Our group attended with M. Zubair Khan and Simon Leitner, who each presented a poster at the session taking place in the evenings.

We want to thank Rainer Lechner and Nadine Aichberger for organizing such a successful winter school, and giving so many young scientists the opportunity to enter deeper into the reciprocal space opened up by scattering methods.

Graphene Week 2023, hosted by the Graphene Flagship, took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 04 - 08 September, 2023. The mission of the Graphene Flagship is to unite both academic and industrial researchers with the goal of transitioning graphene from academic laboratories into society. This endeavor aims to foster economic expansion, create fresh employment opportunities, and open up novel prospects. In addition, the 2D-Experimental Pilot Line project is working within the Graphene Flagship, to establish an ecosystem for integrated 2D materials in the semiconductor industry. The ultimate goal is to harness these materials for applications as CMOS readout integrated sensors, Hall sensors, photodetctors and GFETs based bio/chemical sensors.

The ‘’ Focused Ion Technology for Nanomaterials -"FIT4NANO’’ workshop occurred in Lisbon, Portugal between July 17th and 19th 2023 with primary objective of establishing a platform to enable new applications of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) techniques in structuring functional materials at nanoscale. MSc Zubair Khan presented a talk on the topic of "Engineering magnetism in two-dimensional phyllosilicates via ion implantation".2D_Mat_Lab

Dr.Gennadiy Murastov helad a presentation discussing our recent findings published in Communications Chemistry. The main focus was on tungsten diselenide nanoribbons, highlighting their edge-specific decoration with metallic nanoparticles via a proposed laser-induced chemical reaction method. There were a few audience questions and the conference proved to be an excellent opportunity for networking.

Muhammad Zubair Khan delivered a flash talk, followed by an informative poster presentation, spotlighting the magnetic properties of iron-rich phyllosilicates and the crucial correlation between mixture oxidation states and critical ordering temperature. These findings represent an integral component of our most recent publication on two-dimensional magnetic minerals.

Flatlands beyond Graphene was held in Prague , Czeech Republic  25-29 September 2023 , and has successfully established a platform for scientists to engage into fruitful discussions and exchange the latest discoveries in two-dimensional materials beyond graphene. This includes advances in synthesis, characterization and theoretical modeling, and the applications in electronics, energy storage, catalysis and optoelectronics.
2D_Mat_Lab contributed with with talks of Dr. Aleksandar Matkovic , Dr Gennadiy Murastov, Awais Aslam and Zubair Khan, presenting topics curretly developed in our group.
