The successful exfoliation of graphene has given a tremendous boost to research on various
two-dimensional (2D) materials in the last 15 years. Different from traditional thin films, a 2D …

Graphene, in its ideal form, is a two-dimensional (2D) material consisting of a single layer of
carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The richness in morphological, physical …

The structures of boron clusters, such as flat clusters and fullerenes, resemble those of
carbon. Various two‐dimensional (2D) borophenes have been proposed since the …

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) holds great potential for applications due to its unique
electronic properties and high chemical stability. Practical applications of h-BN, however …

Graphene has become the focus of research recently due to its properties. Various methods
have been proposed for the synthesis of graphene, and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) …

With the reduction of feature size and increase of integration density, traditional 3D
semiconductors are unable to meet the future requirements of chip integration. The current …

Synthesizing bilayer graphene (BLG), which has a band gap, is an important step in
graphene application in microelectronics. Experimentally, it was broadly observed that …

Grain boundaries produced during material synthesis affect both the intrinsic properties of
materials and their potential for high‐end applications. This effect is commonly observed in …

As attractive analogue of graphene, boron monolayers have been theoretically predicted.
However, due to electron deficiency of boron atom, synthesizing boron monolayer is very …
