2D materials: from scalable MOCVD growth to quantitative structural characterization at the atomic scale

Abstract

Two-dimensional materials are prime contenders to enhance semiconductor technology. Their rich compositional and stacking varieties yield virtually endless possibilities to tailor device properties. For example, monolayer GaS exhibits a bandgap in the ultraviolet and could yield solar-blind photodiodes or even replace GaN as emitter in LEDs covering the whole visible spectrum.
