2D Materials [Hardcover]

2D Materials contains the latest information on the current frontier of nanotechnology, the thinnest form of materials to ever occur in nature. A little over 10 years ago, this was a completely unknown area, not thought to exist. However, since then, graphene has been isolated and acclaimed, and a whole other class of atomically thin materials, dominated by surface effects and showing completely unexpected and extraordinary properties has been created.

This book is ideal for a variety of readers, including those seeking a high-level overview or a very detailed and critical analysis. No nanotechnologist can currently overlook this new class of materials.

• Presents one of the first detailed books on this subject of nanotechnology
• Contains contributions from a great line-up of authoritative contributors that bring together theory and experiments
• Ideal for a variety of readers, including those seeking a high-level overview or a very detailed and critical analysis
