BACKGROUND Materials by design is an appealing idea that is very hard to realize in
practice. Combining the best of different ingredients in one ultimate material is a task for …

Recent advances in the development of atomically thin layers of van der Waals bonded
solids have opened up new possibilities for the exploration of 2D physics as well as for …

The realization of long-range ferromagnetic order in two-dimensional van der Waals
crystals, combined with their rich electronic and optical properties, could lead to new …

Abstract van der Waals materials have greatly expanded our design space of
heterostructures by allowing individual layers to be stacked at non-equilibrium …

Two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) have been a central focus of materials
research since the discovery of graphene just over a decade ago. Each layer in 2DLMs …

Semiconductor technology is currently based on the manipulation of electronic charge;
however, electrons have additional degrees of freedom, such as spin and valley, that can be …

The isolation of graphene in 2004 from graphite was a defining moment for the “birth” of a
field: two-dimensional (2D) materials. In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing …

We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional
crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts …

The growth of wafer-scale single-crystal two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides
(TMDs) on insulating substrates is critically important for a variety of high-end applications …

Scaling of silicon (Si) transistors is predicted to fail below 5-nanometer (nm) gate lengths
because of severe short channel effects. As an alternative to Si, certain layered …
