Quantum Confined Excitons in 2-Dimensional Materials By: Carmen Palacios-Berraquero Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783030014810, 3030014819 eText ISBN: 9783030014827, 3030014827 Copyright year: 2018 Format: EPUB Available from $ 139.00 USD SKU 9783030014827 This book presents the first established experimental results of an emergent field: 2-dimensional materials as platforms for quantum technologies, specifically through the optics of quantum-confined excitons. It also provides an extensive review of the literature from a number of disciplines that informed the research, and introduces the materials of focus – 2d Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (2d-TMDs) – in detail, discussing electronic and chemical structure, excitonic behaviour and response to strain. This is followed by a brief overview of quantum information technologies, including concepts such as single-photon sources and quantum networks. The met Download ebook: https://ouo.io/Jkt1H3
