Title of Talk: **“Van-der-Waals integration of hybrid devices”***

**

*_Abstract:_*

Progress in solid state physics is often tied to the emergence of 
material systems hosting new electronic properties. Specifically, the 
interface between different materials can yield new way to control the 
band-structures and interaction effects, giving rise to new potential 
functionalities. Particular recent interest is given to “van der Waals 
materials”. Here, weak inter-layer bonds allow exfoliation into 
ultra-thin layers. Moreover, such materials can be vertically stacked 
with high precision, creating a range of new types of heterostructure. 
In my talk I will describe a number of experiments based on such van der 
Waals stacks. Specifically, I will discuss the interface between 
graphene, a single layer of carbon, and a topological insulator (TI), 
which is a material hosting protected states at its surface. At the 
graphene-TI interface, strong spin-orbit band-modifications are expected 
to take place, which makes it an attractive model system for probing 
proximity effects involving topological states. We show how parameters 
such as relative crystallographic orientation between the two materials 
strongly affect the physics of such devices.
