Xenes: 2D Synthetic Materials Beyond Graphene
includes all the relevant information about Xenes thus far reported,
focusing on emerging materials and new trends. The book's primary goal
is to include full descriptions of each Xene type by leading experts in
the area. Each chapter will provide key principles, theories, methods,
experiments and potential applications. The book also reviews the key
challenges for synthetic 2D materials such as characterization,
modeling, synthesis, and integration strategies. This comprehensive book
is suitable for materials scientists and engineers, physicists and
chemists working in academia and R&D in industry.
The
discovery of silicene dates back to 2012. Since then, other Xenes were
subsequently created with synthetic methods. The portfolio of Xenes
includes different chemical elements of the periodic table and hence the
related honeycomb-like lattices show a wealth of electronic and optical
properties that can be successfully exploited for applications.
- Introduces the most important Xenes, including silicene, germanene, borophene, gallenene, phosphorene, and more
- Provides the fundamental principles, theories, experiments and applications for the most relevant synthetic 2D materials
- Addresses techniques for the characterization, synthesis and integration of synthetic 2D materials
