The physical and bonding properties of a new class of two-dimensional materials – CuXSe2 (X = Cl, Br) – are investigated using first-principles methods. 2D CuXSe2 are indirect band gap and possess extremely anisotropic and very high carrier mobilities.
Colloidal quantum wells, or nanoplatelets, are a promising class of solution-processable two-dimensional materials with properties well-suited for diverse optoelectronic devices.
van der Waals heterostructures by stacking different two-dimensional materials are being considered as potential materials for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices because they can show the most potential advantages of individual 2D materials.
