About this Research Topic
Low-dimensional semiconductor materials, encompassing zero-dimensional quantum dots, one-dimensional nanowires, and two-dimensional nanomaterials, exhibit exceptional physical and chemical properties, rendering them highly promising for applications in electronics, photonics, and optoelectronics. Despite their potential, significant challenges remain in material synthesis, characterization of physical properties, and device integration. This Research Topic Collection aims to serve as a platform for discussing the latest advancements in Low dimensional Materials, Photonics, and Devices, thereby propelling the development of semiconductor materials and integrated devices.
Low dimensional semiconductor materials still face problems such as difficult controllable preparation of high quality and large size materials, low device integration, and limited device performance, which significantly hinder their further development and widespread application. To address these issues, it is imperative to advance novel materials, develop large-scale material synthesis methods, enhance precision material characterization techniques, scientific theoretical simulation, innovate device design, and conduct highly integrated process research.
The topics covered in this collection include, but are not limited to:
1) Emerging Materials: Zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), and two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials, topological materials, semimetallic materials, ferroelectric materials, low-dimensional superlattice materials, metamaterials and metasurfaces, and nonlinear materials.
2) Material Synthesis Methods: Vapor deposition, liquid phase fabrication, remote epitaxy for large-scale materials, arrays, and heterojunctions.
3) Optical and Optoelectronic Characterization Methods: Near-field scanning probe techniques, ultrafast characterization, and novel spectroscopic techniques.
4) Device Physics and Engineering: Lasers, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, optical modulators, and optical memory and synapses.
5) Theoretical Modelling and Simulations: Molecular dynamics simulations, first-principles materials modeling, quantum chemical materials simulations, electronic and photonic simulations of novel devices and device architectures, and multiphysics simulations.
6) Integrated Photonics: Silicon-based low-dimensional materials integrated photonics, novel low-dimensional materials for integrated photonics, and integrated photonic device demonstrations.
