2D ferroelectrics and their perspectives for neural networks

In recent years, the discovery and exploration of two-dimensional ferroelectrics, and specifically interfacial ferroelectrics, have opened up exciting possibilities in nanoscience and nanotechnology. These materials exhibit unique ferroelectric properties at the interface, coupled with optical degrees of freedom, making them highly promising for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to memory devices, sensors, actuators, and photonic devices. This workshop explore their fundamental properties, applications in devices, characterization techniques, and growth mechanisms. The workshop will explore the potential of 2D ferroelectrics in shaping the future of non-volatile memory and low-threshold nonlinear optical components. These materials have a unique combination of ferroelectric and optical properties, with promising implications for photonics and neuromorphics.
