In this course, students will learn the remarkable
phenomena occurring at lower dimensions which
are universally applicable to a wide range of two-
dimensional materials and their heterostructures.
The course will provide the fundamental
physics&chemistry knowledge required to
understand the macroscopic behaviors two-
dimensional materials starting from graphene and
spanning a wide range of spectrum including
graphyne, boron nitride, transition metal
dichalcogenides, silicene, germanene,
phosphorene, antimonene, nitrogene, metal
hydroxides and polymers in two-dimensional
networks. This course will also present important
applications of two-dimensional materials in
energy storage/harvesting, carbon capture and
water filtering devices as well as discussing the
quantum effects such as superconductivity,
superlubricity and nano-capacitance that can be
observed in low-dimensional materials. The course
is research oriented and successful students will
be able to contribute to research papers at the end
of the course.
