The 6th International Meeting on Silicene will be held at
SOLEIL in France. Silicene is the silicon analog of graphene, which has attracted
great interest in the past few years as it may provide a possibility to combine
novel concepts, such as Dirac fermions and spintronics with the traditional
silicon technology. As both theoretical and experimental works are rapidly increasing,
many open questions still demand to be answered. The “International Meeting
on Silicene” is aimed to stimulate discussions among researchers in this growing
field, to establish collaborations and to bring more researchers into the fascinating
silicene research.
The topics of this meeting will cover all aspects of silicene,
such as theoretical predictions and proposals, experimental fabrication, physics
and chemistry properties, measurement of electronic and optical properties,
devices and applications. The meeting also encourages researchers from relative
research fields, such as graphene and other 2D materials, to stimulate new ideas
by discussions in a broader while relevant field.
