Description

Defects in Two-Dimensional Materials addresses 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.

Key features

  • Presents the theory, physics and chemistry of 2D materials
  • Catalogues defects of 2D materials and their impacts on materials properties and performance

About the editors

RA

Rafik Addou

Rafik Addou is a research scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), USA, where he leads efforts on understanding the interface and surface science of graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and other emerging 2D materials for nano- and opto-electronics. He earned a BSc in Physics from Mohamed Premier University, Oujda, Morocco, and MSc in Materials Physics from Aix-Marseille University, France. In 2010, he received his PhD degree in Materials Science from Ecole des Mines (Nancy, France) in association with Empa Materials Science and Technology Laboratory (Thun, Switzerland). Before joining UTD, Dr. Addou was at the University of South Florida (Tampa FL, USA) as a postdoctoral research fellow in Physics where he studied the surface physics of graphene.
