Layer - by - Layer Thinning of 2D Materials

Two dimensional (2D) structured materials are receiving huge interests since the discovery of graphene material first by the mechanical exfoliation method using scotch tape from the graphite in 2004. Among them, graphene molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) black phosphorous, hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) hafnium dioxide (HfO2) , molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), and 2D carbide nanosheets (MXene) are emerging as many promising potential materials with novel properties in electronics and optoelectronics.
