| Summary: | The field of 2D layered materials has been continuously growing and evolving for decades. The early works on graphene by Novosolev and Geim drove the field into the mainstream. Since then it has moved beyond carbon based systems to encompass a wide variety of materials with varied chemical compositions and properties. The increased research interest has been driven by the advances in synthesis techniques and the ease with which these properties can be modulated to access novel science and vast application possibilities. For example graphene has shown evidence of massless Dirac fermions and quantum hall effect and MoS<sub>2</sub> has great potential for flexible/low power electronic applications and novel charge density wave states. |
