Riassunto

Defects in Two-Dimensional Materials addresses the fundamental physics and chemistry of defects in 2D materials and their effects on physical, electrical and optical properties. The book explores 2D materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). This knowledge will enable scientists and engineers to tune 2D materials properties to meet specific application requirements. The book reviews the techniques to characterize 2D material defects and compares the defects present in the various 2D materials (e.g. graphene, h-BN, TMDs, phosphorene, silicene, etc.).

As two-dimensional materials research and development is a fast-growing field that could lead to many industrial applications, the primary objective of this book is to review, discuss and present opportunities in controlling defects in these materials to improve device performance in general or use the defects in a controlled way for novel applications.

Informazioni sugli autori

Rafik Addou is a research scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), USA, where he leads efforts on understanding the interface and surface science of graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and other emerging 2D materials for nano- and opto-electronics. He earned a BSc in Physics from Mohamed Premier University, Oujda, Morocco, and MSc in Materials Physics from Aix-Marseille University, France. In 2010, he received his PhD degree in Materials Science from Ecole des Mines (Nancy, France) in association with Empa Materials Science and Technology Laboratory (Thun, Switzerland). Before joining UTD, Dr. Addou was at the University of South Florida (Tampa FL, USA) as a postdoctoral research fellow in Physics where he studied the surface physics of graphene.

Luigi Colombo is the Director of Strategic Programs and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas, USA. For almost 40 years, he worked on a variety of materials research and development programs and device integration at Texas Instruments in Dallas, TX, USA. From 2008-2013 in collaboration with the Ruoff group at the University of Texas at Austin, USA, he discovered and developed a large area graphene film growth using a catalytic CVD process on Cu substrates.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Defects in Two-Dimensional Materials addresses the fundamental physics and chemistry of defects in 2D materials and the effects on their physical, electrical, and optical properties. This book reviews the techniques to characterize defects in a variety of 2D materials, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). It then goes on to show how understanding and controlling these defects provides a pathway to novel applications requiring defect engineering, enabling scientists to tune the properties of 2D materials to fulfil specialised applications.

Key features:

• Presents the theory, physics, and chemistry of 2D materials;
• Catalogues defects of 2D materials and their impact on properties and performance;
• Reviews methods to characterize, control, and engineer defects in 2D materials.

This book is suitable for those in academia and industry working in the disciplines of materials science and engineering and may be of interest to physicists and chemists.
