Scope
Aim This workshop aims to discuss the atomic-level structural analysis of low-dimensional materials and structures, their unique quantum properties, and their development as hydrogen functional materials. Low-dimensional structures exhibit properties that differ significantly from those of bulk three-dimensional materials. Notably, research on atomically thin materials has advanced remarkably in recent years. When combined with the distinctive quantum characteristics of hydrogen, these materials hold great potential for new phenomena and functionalities.
Participants The workshop provides a platform for researchers from Japan, Taiwan, and beyond in physics, materials science, and chemistry to share findings on low-dimensional structures and hydrogen-related functionalities, fostering collaboration and the identification of new research themes. It seeks to bridge the fields of low-dimensional material studies and hydrogen research, promoting innovative ideas and international collaborations.
Topics Topics of discussion will include group 14 atomic layer materials such as graphene and germanene, transition metal chalcogenides, and low-temperature two-dimensional gases. Key themes will explore the relationship between these materials and hydrogen, focusing on hydrogen isotope separation via quantum tunneling and the emergence of new catalytic functionalities. Discussions will also address advanced research techniques, such as scanning probe microscopy, ultra-slow ion beams, and hydrogen production methods employed at JAEA.
