The 4th International Workshop on Hexagonal SiGe and Related Materials will take place on 14-15 September 2026 at the University of Twente, Enschede (The Netherlands). This interdisciplinary workshop focuses on the properties of hexagonal silicon, SiGe, and related material systems and explores future directions for both fundamental research and technological applications. By bringing together experimental and theoretical perspectives, the workshop follows three successful previous editions held in Eindhoven (2023), Milan (2024), and Paris (2025). The scientific program will cover materials and devices, spectroscopy/photonics and quantum properties such as defects and spins Materials and devices.
