Woodhead Publishing 2D Materials for Photonic and Optoelectronic Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials)

2D Materials for Photonic and Optoelectronic Applications introduces readers to two-dimensional materials and their properties (optical, electronic, spin and plasmonic), various methods of synthesis, and possible applications, with a strong focus on novel findings and technological challenges. The two-dimensional materials reviewed include hexagonal boron nitride, silicene, germanene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous and other novel materials. This book will be ideal for students and researchers in materials science, photonics, electronics, nanotechnology and condensed matter physics and chemistry, providing background for both junior investigators and timely reviews for seasoned researchers. Review Provides in-depth discussions of 2D materials beyond graphene for photonic applications--including properties, technological barriers and promising applications From the Back Cover In 2D Materials for Photonic and Optoelectronic Applications readers are introduced to two-dimensional materials and their properties (optical, electronic, spin, plasmonic), followed by the various methods of synthesis.
