Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides Comprehensive resource covering rapid scientific and technological development of polymorphic two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) over a range of disciplines and applications
Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides: Phase Engineering and Applications in Electronics and Optoelectronics provides a discussion on the history of phase engineering in 2D-TMDs as well as an in-depth treatment on the structural and electronic properties of 2D-TMDs in their respective polymorphic structures. The text addresses different forms of in-situ synthesis, phase transformation, and characterization methods for 2D-TMD materials and provides a comprehensive treatment of both the theoretical and experimental studies that have been conducted on 2D-TMDs in their respective phases.
Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides includes further information on:
- Thermoelectric, fundamental spin-orbit structures, Weyl semi-metallic, and superconductive and related ferromagnetic properties that 2D-TMD materials possess
- Existing and prospective applications of 2D-TMDs in the field of electronics and optoelectronics as well as clean energy, catalysis, and memristors
- Magnetism and spin structures of polymorphic 2D-TMDs and further considerations on the challenges confronting the utilization of TMD-based systems
- Recent progress of mechanical exfoliation and the application in the study of 2D materials and other modern opportunities for progress in the field
Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides provides in-depth review introducing the electronic properties of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides with updates to the phase engineering transition strategies and a diverse range of arising applications, making it an essential resource for scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers across a wide range of disciplines.
Dr. Chi Sin Tang received his Bachelor`s degree in Physics from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and Ph.D. under the Integrative Sciences and Engineering Programme (ISEP) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Previously, he was a scientist in the Nano Electronic and Thermal Transport (NETT) group at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), A*STAR Singapore. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Singapore Synchrotron Light Source, National University of Singapore (NUS) under the NUS Emerging Scientist Fellowship. His research interests focus on electronic and magnetic properties of strongly-correlated systems, heterostructures and 2D Materials where unique quantum properties and quasi-particle dynamics can be uncovered.
Prof. Xinmao Yin is currently a professor at the Physics Department of Shanghai University, China. He received his bachelor's degree in Physics from Zhejiang University and his PhD degree in Physics from the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Wee. Thereafter, he continued his research at the National University of Singapore with specific interests on the electronic and spin structures of multiple classes of quantum materials based on a range of optical spectroscopic techniques in different energy regimes. His research also focuses on the governing mechanisms of superconductivity, ferromagnetism, phase transition and other exotic quasi-particle quantum excitations.
Andrew T. S. Wee is a class of '62 Professor of Physics at the National University of Singapore.
