Layeredness in Materials

<p>This book provides information on the characteristics strategies and applications of layered materials. It sheds light on layerdness-dependent properties of Van der Waals solids for potential applications. The properties of  various layered materials prepared using different experimental strategies are described. Further the first-principles calculations are given to devise a strategy to investigate layeredness in materials. The structural thermal mechanical lattice vibronic electronic optical and carrier transport characteristics of the layered materials are elaborated in detail. This book provides an updated source of information on layered materials for students researchers and professionals.</p><p></p>
