Synthesis, Modelling and Characterization of 2d Materials and Their Heterostructures

Synthesis, Modelling and Characterization of 2D Materials and Their Heterostructures provides a detailed discussion on the multiscale computational approach surrounding atomic, molecular and atomic-informed continuum models. In addition to a detailed theoretical description, this book provides example problems, sample code/script, and a discussion on how theoretical analysis provides insight into optimal experimental design. Furthermore, the book addresses the growth mechanism of these 2D materials, the formation of defects, and different lattice mismatch and interlayer interactions. Sections cover direct band gap, Raman scattering, extraordinary strong light matter interaction, layer dependent photoluminescence, and other physical properties.

• Explains multiscale computational techniques, from atomic to continuum scale, covering different time and length scales
• Provides fundamental theoretical insights, example problems, sample code and exercise problems
• Outlines major characterization and synthesis methods for different types of 2D materials
