Next Generation Electronics Based on Anisotropic 2D Materials

Abstract

Anisotropic 2D materials have interesting properties and could find some unique applications in next generation electronics. In this chapter, we will review the research progress on some representative anisotropic 2D materials. We will show that anisotropic charge carrier transport, optoelectronic response, and ferroelectric behaviour have been studied and anisotropic devices have been demonstrated. Some remaining challenges will be discussed for future studies.
