Low-Dimensional Materials: Bridging the Fundamental Principles to Practical Applications

• Discusses the whole field of low-dimensional materials, from quantum mechanics and low dimensional effects to structure-property relations, various methods of fabrication and assembly techniques, and a characterization of atomic and interface structures
• Covers a wide range of topics, making it a 'map' for readers to understand the fundamentals of low-dimensional materials
• Written with a 'bottom-up approach, with a solid foundation of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and energy transport in low-dimensional systems
