The Moiré Quantum Matter Nanofab Workshop aims to provide training in the nanofabrication of 2D moiré quantum devices. This workshop is open to the entire condensed matter physics/materials science community and it will include:
- Demonstration of 2D materials exfoliation methods
- Shape engineering based on the laser cutting method
- Stacking of 2D materials with twist angle control
- Tips on how to increase yields, subsequent device nanofabrication, improving contacts, device characterization, etc.
The Moiré Quantum Matter Nanofabrication Training Workshop will take place at MIT in Cambridge, MA, in June 2024 and will be hosted by the Jarillo-Herrero research group. Our main focus is on training small groups, enabling a more effective and direct training environment. Applicants should be able to spend 3-4 days at MIT during June 2024. Preference will be given to applicants with some 2D materials experience but without extensive moiré devices nanofabrication experience.
