The symposium will broadly cover the advances in current and emerging superconducting and 2D magnetic material research from fundamental science to devices and applications. We especially encourage topics covering the correlations among spin, charge and orbital order parameters, electro-optic, and light-matter effects for these materials. Relevant work spanning theory, synthesis, and characterization of new materials and phenomena is welcomed for submission to this symposium.  

The fundamental focus for superconductors in this symposium are materials discovery, synthesis, and advanced characterization of new superconducting materials, theoretical and experimental understanding the superconducting and normal state properties of novel superconductors, and their interaction with charge, spin, orbital, and lattice order parameters, and developing new heterostructures devices and superconducting electronics (such as superconducting diodes & superconducting qubits) to enable emergent phenomena and new functionalities. The application aspect of the symposium is to promote transition from basic science to deployment, where we will focus on the fabrication of superconducting wires, tapes, thin films, devices, and superconducting multi-layers and composites towards large scale energy-relevant technology applications, including high power transmission, energy and information storage, THz and GHz electronics, and processing technologies. 

The fundamental focus for 2D magnets in this symposium is to highlight material discovery, new synthesis methods, new characterization methods, single crystal and large-area thin film growth of 2D magnets, device fabrication & characterization, structures, dynamics, and properties of moiré superlattices, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of 2D magnets and van der Waals heterostructures. Additionally other topics such as spintronic devices, magneto-ionics, magneto-optical and electro-optical properties, magnetocalorics, and new device studies towards new generation of magnetic memory devices and information sciences. We will also include the integration of magnetic materials into novel device structures and the study of their device physics.
