An International Workshop on

Miramar Palace, Donostia-San Sebastian

Basque Country, Spain, July 17-21, 2023

Motivation

Modern theoretical, experimental, and applied physics of two-dimensional (2D) systems explore and employ the great richness of their quantum properties. These properties are probed by various experimental techniques, such as charge, spin, exciton, and heat transport, optical, microwave, and scanning-probe spectroscopies, photoresistance, etc. Over the recent years, the available variety of 2D systems has grown dramatically and include various semiconductor and oxide heterostructures, atomically thin layers (or bi-layers) of graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and their heterostructures.

Travel

Sketch of the world map

The city of San Sebastian (Basque: Donostia) is located in the Basque Autonomous Community in the north-east of Spain. It is connected to major destinations around the world through several airports in the neighborhood.

In the vast majority of cases, flying to Bilbao Airport is the best option. A shuttle bus conveniently connects the Bilbao Airport with the Train Station of Donostia. From the train station, one can take a taxi to reach your hotel. Alternatively, bus number 45 (see timetables at city bus service d-bus) connects the train station to most central parts of the town.

Lodging
