Description:
This book is the first to present comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of 2D materials and their nanoelectronic applications. Comprised of chapters authored by world-renowned researchers, the text discusses the use of graphene for high-frequency analog circuits, explores logic and photonic applications of molybdenum disulfide, and addresses novel 2D materials including silicene, germanene, stanene, and phosphorene. It provides background on the simulation of structural, electronic, and transport properties from first principles, as well as considers the use of 2D materials for both field-effect transistors and logic circuits.
Review Quotes:
"... an excellent read. ... an ideal introductory reference book for physicists, engineers, and materials scientists."
--Dr. Tawfique Hasan, Cambridge Graphene Centre, Cambridge University, UK
"A timely book on a hot topic. ... written by renowned experts and driven by three leading scientists with a vision."
--Prof. Guy Le Lay, Aix-Marseille Université, France
"... both novices to the field as well as experts will be able to take advantage of the compendium of information provided."
--Dr. Luigi Colombo, Texas Instruments, Dallas, USA
"The book gives the reader a clear picture about 2-D materials and applications in various fields, such as optoelectronics and nanoelectronics. The book has many beautiful illustrations and many references... a must for any university library"
--Optics & Photonics News (Aug 2016)
"this is a genuinely useful book for anyone working in 2D materials, especially new students and researchers, who might otherwise get lost in the mass of papers that have been published on this topic over the last decade.... there is immense value in having [the information] collated and summarised in this single volume."
--Contemporary Physics (Nov 2017), review by Matt Probert, University of York
