Occurring monthly during the academic year, the 2DCC Webinars present new technical scientific news from within the 2DCC facility and the broader scientific community, as well as, broader topics such as science related to diversity. The webinars are free with an online registration.
The slides with voice-over for past 2DCC Webinars (2016- ) are available by following the links in the menu.
Fall 2026 Webinar Series:
October 29- Kenneth Burch (Boston College)
Title: 2D Material Devices via a Cleanroom in a Glovebox
Abstract: Exploring new technologies and quantum phases requires rapidly and cleanly creating heterostructures and devices. Typically, this relies on complex machinery in a cleanroom, which does not prevent oxidation or other contaminants and raises the cost and time to discovery. Here, I will outline our development of the “Cleanroom in a Glovebox,” inspired by the ease of 2D atomic crystal devices and heterostructure fabrication [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 91, 073909 (2020)]. The system allows heterostructure creation, device fabrication, and in-situ electrical, optical, and topographic characterization while interfacing with thin-film growth and surface-sensitive probes. This tool enabled the discovery of 2D Modulation Doping [Nano Letters 20, 8446 (2020)], An Axial Higgs Mode [Nature 606, 896 (2022)], and non-local transport along a topological edge mode of a chiral superconductor. It allowed rapid fabrication and characterization of 2D MoN[Chem. of Mat. 34, 351 (2021)], battery materials [Angew. Chem. 62, e202302363 (2023)] and graphene-based biosensors [ACS Nano 16, 3704 (2022)].
