SUMMARY:Meet your defects and stress - Alejandro Lopez Bezanilla (Argonne N
 ational Laboratory)
DESCRIPTION:Alejandro Lopez Bezanilla\, Materials Science Division\, Argon
 ne National Laboratory
\nabstract:
\nUnderstanding the way defects modify 
 materials' properties at the atomic scale is a grand challenge germane to 
 controlling any material suited for electronic applications. Far from repr
 esenting a drawback in the integration of new materials in electronic devi
 ces\, imperfections such as structural defects and dopants may lead to nov
 el engineering possibilities. I will describe how structural disorder and 
 various types of chemical modifications in bilayer carbon nanotubes and na
 noribbons can widen their small or non-existing electronic band gaps while
  preserving a good charge mobility. Also\, I will show that external stres
 s is able to open a band gap in 2D materials with Dirac cones. Methodologi
 es such as the real-space renormalization and machine learning will be int
 roduced as suitable tools for multiscale modelling.
