ENTER-2D: Enabling New Two-Dimensional Emergent Materials by Defects and Heterostructures is an International Research Project (IRP) bringing together French and Taiwanese teams from the Laboratoire Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques (MPQ), the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N), and the National Taiwan University (NTU). The project explores innovative approaches to design and control the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials through defect engineering, heterostructure fabrication, and external excitations. By combining advanced material growth, atomic-scale characterization using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), and state-of-the-art ab initio simulations, ENTER-2D aims to uncover new physical phenomena and functionalities in materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides and related 2D materials. This project seeks to deepen our understanding of atomic-scale processes, paving the way for breakthroughs in nanoelectronics, catalysis, and quantum materials.
The project aims to achieve several outcomes:
- Publication of joint scientific articles
- Co-supervision and exchange of students between French and Taiwanese partners.
- Organization of French-Taiwanese workshops and scientific meetings
