DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aravind Devarakonda | Assistant Professor of Applied P
 hysics\nhosted by Latha Venkataraman \nAbstract: Manipulating materials at
  the atomic scale often drives advances in fundamental condensed matter ph
 ysics. In this talk\, I will introduce our newly established group’s app
 roach combining materials synthesis\, advanced characterization\, and devi
 ce fabrication to achieve such control to ultimately create new quantum ma
 terials.First\, I will highlight a new family of bulk van der Waals (vdW) 
 superlattices derived from transition metal dichalcogenides\, where reduce
 d dimensionality and both in-plane and out-of-plane structural modulations
  give rise to novel electronic phases\, for example\, unconventional\, spa
 tially modulated superconductivity\; I will connect these results from bul
 k compounds to contemporary work on other periodically modulated structure
 s such as moiré materials. Then I will discuss the van der Waals metal Pd
 5AlI2\, where a particular combination of atomic orbitals (i.e.\, chemistr
 y) “decorating” a primitive square lattice gives rise to an electronic
  structure analogous to the 2D Lieb lattice model.I will conclude by looki
 ng forward and outlining our efforts to combine bulk materials and vdW het
 erostructure methods to unlock new ways of manipulating structure\, symmet
 ry\, and chemistry\, and novel quantum behavior therein.
