Elsevier Synthesis, Modelling and Characterization of 2D Materials and their Heterostructures (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Product Description Synthesis, Modelling and Characterization of 2D Materials and Their Heterostructures provides a detailed discussion on the multiscale computational approach surrounding atomic, molecular and atomic-informed continuum models. In addition to a detailed theoretical description, this book provides example problems, sample code/script, and a discussion on how theoretical analysis provides insight into optimal experimental design. Furthermore, the book addresses the growth mechanism of these 2D materials, the formation of defects, and different lattice mismatch and interlayer interactions. Sections cover direct band gap, Raman scattering, extraordinary strong light matter interaction, layer dependent photoluminescence, and other physical properties. Review Provides insights into the multiscale modelling, synthesis and characterization of mechanical, optical and electrical properties in 2D materials From the Back Cover Atomically thin 2D monolayers of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, etc.) and their heterostructures have attracted considerable research interest owing to their appealing electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. A synergistic computational and experimental investigation is necessary for understanding the optimal performance of these materials. Synthesis, Modelling and Characterization of 2D Materials and their Heterostructures provides a detailed discussion on the multiscale computational approach comprising of the atomic, molecular, and atomtic-informed continuum models. In addition to a detailed theoretical description, this book provides example problems, sample code/script, as well as discussion on how theoretical analysis provides insight into the optimal experimental design. This book furthermore addresses the growth mechanism of these 2D materials, formation of defects, different lattice mismatch and interlayer interaction in their heterostructures. In particular, detailed features associated with 2D structures, such as the direct band gap, Raman scattering, extraordinary strong light matter interaction, layer dependent photoluminescence, and other physical properties, are covered. The book also explores electronic, optical and photonic applications of these classes of 2D materials and their hereto structures.
