Fabrication and characterization of two-dimensional materials and nanostructured surfaces KU Leuven
In 2004 graphene, i.e. one single atomic layer of carbon atoms arranged according to a honeycomb structure, was successfully isolated. The perfectly two-dimensional (2D) graphene has unique electronic properties, including surprisingly high charge carrier mobility. Graphene also has excellent mechanical properties: it is a very strong material and at the same time extremely flexible. More recently, other 2D materials with similar honeycomb ...
