In 2D Materials for Photonic and Optoelectronic Applications readers are introduced to two-dimensional materials and their properties (optical, electronic, spin, plasmonic), followed by the various methods of synthesis. Finally, possible applications of these materials are discussed, focusing on novel findings and technological challenges. Two-dimensional materials reviewed include hexagonal boron nitride, silicene, germanene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous and other novel materials. This book is targeted towards students and researchers in materials science, photonics, electronics, nanotechnology and condensed matter physics and chemistry. It will provide background for junior investigators and timely review of advances for seasoned researchers. Provides an in-depth look at boron nitride, silicene, germanene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, and more Reviews key applications for photonics and optoelectronics, including photodetectors, optical signal processing, light-emitting diodes and photovoltaics Addresses key technological challenges for the realization of optoelectronic applications and comments on future solutions.
