Xenes: 2D Synthetic Materials Beyond Graphene includes all the relevant information about Xenes thus far reported, focusing on emerging materials and new trends. The book's primary goal is to include full descriptions of each Xene type by leading experts in the area. Each chapter will provide key principles, theories, methods, experiments and potential applications. The book also reviews the key challenges for synthetic 2D materials such as characterization, modeling, synthesis, and integration strategies. This comprehensive book is suitable for materials scientists and engineers, physicists and chemists working in academia and R&D in industry.

The discovery of silicene dates back to 2012. Since then, other Xenes were subsequently created with synthetic methods. The portfolio of Xenes includes different chemical elements of the periodic table and hence the related honeycomb-like lattices show a wealth of electronic and optical properties that can be successfully exploited for applications.

Introduces the most important Xenes, including silicene, germanene, borophene, gallenene, phosphorene, and more Provides the fundamental principles, theories, experiments and applications for the most relevant synthetic 2D materials Addresses techniques for the characterization, synthesis and integration of synthetic 2D materials

Major developments in the semiconductor industry are on the horizon through the use of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, for integrated circuits (ICs). 2D Materials for Nanoelectronics is the first comprehensive treatment of these materials and their applications in nanoelectronic devices.Comprised of chapters authored by internationally recognised researchers, this book:Discusses the use of graphene for high-frequency analog circuitsExplores logic and photonic applications of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)Addresses novel 2D materials including silicene, germanene, stanene, and phosphoreneConsiders the use of 2D materials for both field-effect transistors (FETs) and logic circuitsProvides background on the simulation of structural, electronic, and transport properties from first principles2D Materials for Nanoelectronics presents extensive, state-of-the-art coverage of the fundamental and applied aspects of this exciting field.
