Elemental Graphene Analogues
Elemental Graphene Analogues by David J. Fisher, published by Materials Research Forum LLC in June 2017, is a comprehensive exploration of recent advancements in materials science, particularly focusing on monolayer materials. This edition spans 386 pages and is presented in English. The book discusses the evolution of materials, highlighting how traditional substances have been reimagined to exhibit remarkable properties, with a particular emphasis on carbon and its derivatives.
Readers will find a detailed summary of research conducted on various elemental graphene analogues, including Antimonene, Arsenene, and Silicene, among others. The text delves into both theoretical frameworks and existing experimental data, suggesting the potential of these materials to match the utility of graphene. By examining the innovative applications and properties of these monolayer materials, this work contributes to the fields of nanoscience, physics, and materials science, offering insights into the future of technology and engineering.
Official synopsis Publisher
One of the greatest revolutions in materials science in recent years has been the literal renaissance of age-old materials in new and unexpected guises and possessing correspondingly astounding properties. There was once a time, for instance, when textbooks declared that only metals could offer any progress in superconduction. Since then, familiar perovskites – and even humble magnesium boride – have been recognised as being so-called ‘room-temperature’ superconductors. Carbon in particular has benefited from this revolution and has now found application as routinely deposited diamond coatings and as C60 ‘buckyballs’.
The most recent innovation has been the discovery and preparation of graphene; single-monolayer carbon having a remarkable strength. This success has naturally led researchers to ask whether other materials might also be prepared in an analogous monolayer form and offer similarly amazing properties.
The present monograph summarizes all of the work carried out on such monolayer materials up to the beginning of 2017 including Antimonene, Arsenene, Bismuthene, Borophene, Germanene, Indiene, Phosphorene, Silicene, Stanene, Tinene. Most of the work done so far on these ‘elemental graphene analogues’ has been theoretical, but the existing experimental data suggest that they may well become as useful as graphene.
