This symposium will provide a forum for researchers from both theory and experiment to discuss the tuning of material properties (optoelectronic, magnetic, chemical, porosity, etc.) through the introduction of defects at the atomic level to provide new functionalities for applications ranging from quantum sensing and computation to biosensing and nanofiltration. The defect types of interest include single vacancy, interstitial, and substitutional defects, as well as composite defects such as clusters and complexes. Topics to be covered will span recent developments in methods to deterministically place atomic-scale defects (ion and electron irradiation, annealing, plasma and chemical treatments, tip-induced manipulation, etc), characterization methods (transmission electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence), new insights from modeling and theory (high-throughput calculations, machine learning, structure-property relations), device integration (optical cavities, electronics, sensors), and the latest results demonstrating defect-engineered properties in bulk, thin-film, and 2D materials.
