| Popis: |
Since the exfoliation of graphene in the year 2004, a new material class comprising of sheet-like structure have come into existence. They earned their name as two-dimension (2D) materials precisely due to this structure with thickness equal to that of a single atom. The unique properties exhibited by them have garnered the attention of researchers across the world. The tremendous scope for exploitation of these characteristics has enforced rapid advancements in the field of 2D materials. This chapter focuses on the initial developments leading to the discovery of 2D materials. A detailed description providing insights on the nature of 2D materials is broadly discussed. The classification of this new material class is listed. Moreover, the nature of growing interests in this field and the reasons behind this are reported. Therefore, it is essential to understand the challenges and limitations in this field. A section in this chapter focuses on various prospects and challenges faced which provides the researcher an idea before entering into the analytics of 2D materials. Overall the entire chapter gives an overview of 2D materials and it acquaints the readers to this new generation materials. |
