Getting an insight into 2D behaviour

摘要

An interesting area of research into two-dimensional materials is how, they behave when they are stacked together. The best known of these materials is graphene, but since its isolation at Manchester University in 2004, a wide variety of other 2D materials have also been discovered. Many of these have unusual properties to do with the way electrons behave on their surfaces, and these properties become especially interesting when different materials are stacked together face-to-face.
