　　Abstract:

　　Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets, which possess atomic or molecular thickness and infinite planar lengths, have been emerging as important new materials due to their unique properties. In particular, the recent development of methods for manipulating graphene has provided new possibilities and applications for 2D material systems; many amazing functionalities such as high electron mobility and quantum Hall effects have been discovered. This breakthrough has opened up the possibility of isolating and exploring the fascinating properties of 2D nanosheets of other layered materials; the eduction to single/few atomic layers will offer functional flexibility, new properties and novel applications. In this talk, I present the progress made in 2D oxide nanosheets, highlighting emerging functionalities in electronic applications.

　　Dr. Tingting Jia

　　Brief introduction:

　　Following training in materials science and engineering, Dr. Tingting Jia received a Pd.D degree in materials science from Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), CAS in 2011. After a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology (SIMIT), CAS, she joined National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in 2013 as a postdoctoral researcher. Now, she is a JSPS fellow working in NIMS. One of her specific research interests lies in the structure, characterization and fabrication of multiferroics. She also studies high-k gate dielectrics and wide gap semiconductor films, working to improve the quality of the materials and understanding of the physics that give these materials their unique properties.
