Diverse Quantization Phenomena in Layered Materials

This monograph offers a comprehensive overview of diverse quantization phenomena in layered materials, covering current mainstream experimental and theoretical research studies, and presenting essential properties of layered materials along with a wealth of figures.This book illustrates commonly used synthesis methods of these 2D materials and compares the calculated results and experimental measurements, including novel features not yet reported. The book also discusses experimental measurements of magnetic quantization, theoretical modeling for studying systems and covers diversified magnetoelectronic properties, magnetooptical selection rules, unusual quantum Hall conductivities, and single and manyparticle magnetoCoulomb excitations. Rich and unique behaviors are clearly revealed in fewlayer graphene systems with distinct stacking configuration, stackingmodulated structures, silicondoped lattices, bilayer silicene/germanene systems with the bottomtop and bottombottom buckling structures, monolayer and bilayer phosphorene systems, and quantum topological insulators. The generalized tightbinding model, the static and dynamic Kubo formulas, and the randomphase approximation are developed/modified to thoroughly explore the fundamental properties and propose the concise physical pictures. Different highresolution experimental measurements are discussed in detail, and they are consistent with the theoretical predictions.Aimed at readers working in materials science, physics, and engineering this book should be useful for potential applications in energy storage, electronic devices, and optoelectronic devices.
