Defects In Two-dimensional Materials by Rafik Addou, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Defects in Two-Dimensional Materialsaddresses 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. Presents the theory, physics and chemistry of 2D materialsCatalogues defects of 2D materials and their impacts on materials properties and performanceReviews methods to characterize, control and engineer defects in 2D materials | Defects In Two-dimensional Materials by Rafik Addou, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
