Abstract:
Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit distinct properties from their bulk counterparts because of reduced dimensionality and symmetry, and offers unique opportunities for applications such as nanoelectronics, communication, and energy storage. Graphene is the first 2D system experimentally realized with thickness down to one-atomic layer, and has been attempted in virtually all conceivable applications. However, the absence of a band gap in graphene makes many device-related applications very challenging. Black phosphorus and transitional metal dichalcogenide (TMD), such as MoS2, WSe2, or WS2 (to name a few), are newly discovered 2D materials with sizeable bandgaps ranging from ~ 0.3eV to 2 eV, and this could, in principle, open up practical possibilities for future electronics based on 2D materials. In this talk, I will review the progress of 2D materials and analyze their opportunities in various electronic devices in accordance with their fundamental properties. Key challenges will also be discussed.
