About the Book
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.Compris

About the Author :
Michel Houssa earned his master's and PhD in physics at the University of Liege, Belgium. He is presently a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leuven, Belgium. His current research focuses on the first principles modeling of various materials, including semiconductor/oxide interfaces and two-dimensional materials (silicene, germanene, and transition metal dichalcogenides), and their heterostructures. He has authored or co-authored nearly 350 publications, given about 50 invited talks and seminars, and been co-organiser of several international symposia and conferences. He is an Electrochemical Society fellow and an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers senior member.
Athanasios Dimoulas earned his PhD in applied physics at the University of Crete, Greece. He is currently the research director and head of the Epitaxy and Surface Science Laboratory at the National Center for Scientific Research "Demokritos," Athens, Greece. He has coordinated several European-funded projects in advanced CMOS and received the European Research Council-funded SMARTGATE - "Smart Gates for theGreen' Transistor" Advanced Investigator Grant 2011 - "IDEAS." Widely published, Dr. Dimoulas has about 40 invited talks and has been active with several symposia, conferences, and committees as an organizer and chair. He has held fellowships at the University of Groningen, Holland; California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA; and University of Maryland, College Park, USA; and been a visiting research scientist at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland.
Alessandro Molle earned his PhD in materials science at the University of Genoa, Italy. He is presently a research scientist and group leader of the research line on low-dimensional materials and devices in the MDM Laboratory at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche-Istituto per la Microelettronica e Microsistemi (CNR
Review :
"… an excellent read. … an ideal introductory reference book for physicists, engineers, and materials scientists."
—Dr. Tawfique Hasan, Cambridge Graphene Centre, Cambridge University, UK
"A timely book on a hot topic. … written by renowned experts and driven by three leading scientists with a vision."
—Prof. Guy Le Lay, Aix-Marseille Université, France
"… both novices to the field as well as experts will be able to take advantage of the compendium of information provided."
—Dr. Luigi Colombo, Texas Instruments, Dallas, USA
"The book gives the reader a clear picture about 2-D materials and applications in various fields, such as optoelectronics and nanoelectronics. The book has many beautiful illustrations and many references… a must for any university library"
–Optics & Photonics News (Aug 2016)
"this is a genuinely useful book for anyone working in 2D materials, especially new students and researchers, who might otherwise get lost in the mass of papers that have been published on this topic over the last decade…. there is immense value in having [the information] collated and summarised in this single volume."
