AI ACCELERATED MATERIALS DISCOVERY OF VAN DER WAALS MAGNETS
Event Dates
From: 09/07/2024 12:00
To: 09/07/2024 14:00

Place
FORTH Seminar Room: C. Fotakis

The discovery of van der Waals (vdW) materials with intrinsic magnetic order in 2017 has given rise to new avenues for the study of emergent phenomena in two dimensions. In particular, monolayer CrI3 was found to be ferromagnet. Other vdW transition metal halides were later found to have different magnetic properties. How many vdW magnetic materials exist in nature? What are their properties? How do these properties change with the number of layers? A conservative estimate for the number of candidate vdW materials (including monolayers, bilayers and trilayers) exceeds ~106. A recent study showed that artificial intelligence (AI) can be harnessed to discover new vdW Heisenberg ferromagnets based on Cr2Ge2Te6 [1], [2] and vdW magnetic insulators based on MnBi2Te4 [3]. In this talk, we will harness AI to efficiently explore the large chemical space of vdW transition metal halides and to guide the discovery of magneticvdW materials with desirable spin properties. That is, we investigate crystal structures based on monolayer Cr2I6 of the form A2X6, which are studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and AI. Magnetic properties, such as the magnetic moment are determined. The formation energy is also calculated and used as a proxy for the chemical stability. We show that AI, combined with DFT, can provide a computationally efficient means to predict the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of vdW materials [4]. This study paves the way for the rapid discovery of chemically stable magnetic vdW materials with applications in spintronics, magnetic memory and novel quantum computing architectures.

Quantum Matterwaves: Detection, creation, and manipulation

Matterwaves, generated by Bose-Einstein Condensates, are the main resource in ultra-high precision atom-quantum sensors. We demonstrated the first coherent Matterwave guide (Nature 570 205--209 (2019), which will be at the core of this PhD thesis. The successful candidate will perform experiments on matterwave optics and atomic quantum transport in these waveguides. She/He will also work on sub-atom-shotnoise detection of and germination of Bose Einstein Condensates.
