About this book

This book is dedicated to the new two-dimensional one-atomic-layer-thick materials such as graphene, metallic chalcogenides, silicene and other 2D materials. The book describes their main physical properties and applications in nanoelctronics, photonics, sensing and computing. A large part of the book deals with graphene and its amazing physical properties. Another important part of the book deals with semiconductor monolayers such as MoS2 with impressive applications in photonics, and electronics. Silicene and germanene are the atom-thick counterparts of silicon and germanium with impressive applications in electronics and photonics which are still unexplored. Consideration of two-dimensional electron gas devices conclude the treatment. The physics of 2DEG is explained in detail and the applications in THz and IR region are discussed.
Both authors are working currently on these 2D materials developing theory and applications.

Chapter 1. 2D Carbon-Based Nanoelectronics
Abstract
This chapter is dealing with the physics and applications of graphene in nanoelectronics, sensors and optoelectronics. Therefore, the physical properties of graphene presented in this chapter, as well as the specific phenomena encountered in this material, are directly linked to the electronic or optoelectronic devices.

Chapter 2. Two-Dimensional Materials
Abstract
In this chapter we present the recently discovered two-dimensional materials and their physical properties, which are useful for nanoelectronic devices. The synthesis methods play a central role in this chapter, since this is the key issue in the further development of this new emerging area of research. Details about characterization of these atomically thin materials are intrinsically linked to the growth methods.

Chapter 3. Electronic Devices Based on Atomically Thin Materials
Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to electronic devices based on 2D materials. The chapter starts with transistors, which are the backbone of integrated circuits, and continues with more complex devices and circuits, such as sensors, integrated circuits, and memories. This research area is in its infancy since only flakes of 2D materials are used. Thus, only few devices can be integrated, and the reproducibility and scalability issues are still not solved. The electronic devices based on 2D materials have a long path ahead before reaching the performances of Si-based integrated circuits, which actually contain up to five billions transistors/chip.
