The advent of graphene and other two-dimensional van der Waals materials, with their
unique electrical, optical, and thermal properties has resulted in tremendous progress for …

At the turn of this century, Herbert Kroemer, the 2000 Nobel Prize winner in Physics,
famously commented that “the interface is the device”. This statement has since opened up …

We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene
and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt …

Piezoelectricity is a unique material property that converts mechanical energy into electricity
or vice versa. Starting from the group-III monochalcogenide monolayers, we design a series …

We investigate the structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of the two-dimensional
hexagonal structure of group III-VI binary monolayers, MX (M= B, Al, Ga, In and X= O, S, Se …

The Nernst effect, a transverse thermoelectric phenomenon, has attracted significant
attention for its potential in energy conversion, thermoelectrics and spintronics. However …

Atomically thin layered III–VI metal chalcogenides are an emerging class of 2D materials
that have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their remarkable physical …

The relation between unusual Mexican-hat band dispersion, ferromagnetism, and
ferroelasticity is investigated using a combination of analytical, first-principles, and …

The electronic band structure of van der Waals (vdW) layered crystals has properties that
depend on the composition, thickness and stacking of the component layers. Here we use …

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal monochalcogenides have been recently predicted to
be potential photo (electro) catalysts for water splitting and photoelectrochemical (PEC) …
