Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The isolation of true two-dimensional materials in 2004, with graphene being the most notable, established a new paradigm in materials science that opened the door to fascinating and promising technical applications in the fields of condensed matter physics, photonics, spintronics, and many others.
A large number of envisaged applications based on two-dimensional materials rely on their outstanding conducting and optical properties, their variety and, as is particularly relevant, the possibility of tuning them, manipulating them (creating quantum emitters, for instance), or even of creating new materials by assembling different two-dimensional materials.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to publish original high-quality research papers covering the most recent advances as well as comprehensive reviews addressing state-of-the-art topics in the field of optics and transport in two-dimensional materials and related devices.
In addition, opinions and papers on open questions that could provide critical assessments and future directions in this research field are welcome.
This Special Issue will cover the optical and conducting properties of two-dimensional materials and related devices, focusing on the next-generation applications of two-dimensional materials and devices with outstanding performance in terms of applicability. The development of new theoretical and physical models, as well as simulations closer to practical situations, are also expected.
Topics to be covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Optical and/or transport properties of new two-dimensional materials or systems.
- Measurements and theoretical development of the optical properties of two-dimensional materials and related devices.
- Measurements and theoretical development of the electrical properties of two-dimensional materials and related devices.
- Measurements and theoretical development of the thermal properties of two-dimensional materials and related devices.
- Modelization and/or characterization of devices based on two-dimensional materials.
- Experimental and/or theoretical analysis of quantum emitters in two-dimensional systems and related devices.
- Optical properties of excitons in two-dimensional materials and related devices.
- Optical and electrical properties of heterostructures based on two-dimensional materials.
- Electronic properties of two-dimensional materials or systems (including topological insulators).
- Manipulation and tuning of optical and conducting properties of two-dimensional materials and related devices.
- New innovative areas of application of two-dimensional systems, including biocompatible aspects.
- Critical assessments and future directions in two-dimensional systems for sensing.
- Critical assessments and future directions in two-dimensional systems research.
In advance, we would like to gratefully acknowledge the authors and reviewers who will participate to the elaboration of this Special Issue and who will contribute to the development of fundamental and technological research in two-dimensional systems and related devices.
