Advanced 2D Materials

Two dimensional materials, often termed as single layered crystalline materials consists of single layer of atoms. An appreciable research is going on about 2D materials due to their outstanding properties. The advanced 2D materials of interest are graphene, graphyne, borophene, germanene, silicene, phosphorene, bismuthine etc. Among the carbon allotropes, graphene is one of the most versatile members and has been extensively studied. Graphene is in a state i.e., in between and called as a semi metal. In graphene, electrons/holes behave as massless Dirac Fermion because of the linear energy dispersion, thus mobility is found to be high. graphene has high optical transparency from near IR to near UV hence it can replace indium tin oxide in transparent conducting electrodes.
