Workshop "MnBi2Te4-based magnetic topological insulators"

Summary

The ct.qmat workshop "MnBi₂Te₄-based magnetic topological insulators" will be held virtually on 18-19 March 2021. Presently, a number of groups in Dresden and Würzburg are working on this research topic. The workshop is intended to provide an overview of recent scientific results and to promote joint activities and collaborations in ct.qmat.

The scope of the workshop covers experimental and theoretical studies of crystal structure, magnetic, electronic and transport properties, as well as different synthesis techniques (single crystal growth, MBE, exfoliation, etc.). The materials of interest include MnBi₂Te₄, (MnBi2Te4)·(Bi2Te3)m (e.g., MnBi4Te7, MnBi6Te10, MnBi8Te13, etc.), MnBi2-xSbxTe4, MnSb2Te4, MnBi2Se4 and related compounds.

The workshop will be ct.qmat-internal, but we are planning to invite two experts in the field as external speakers. Moreover, the workshop will feature contributed talks and posters. We invite all ct.qmat-coworkers to send us abstracts for contributed talks and poster presentations. Please, use the template below and send the abstract to Celso.Fornari@physik.uni-wuerzburg.de. Please indicate whether you prefer oral or poster presentation. If you would like to participate in the workshop without contribution, please also send us a message.

We hope that the workshop will inspire new ideas and new collaborations, which will further advance this branch of topological materials research.
