In this tutorial I will present the physics of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their optical properties, ranging from graphene to hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides, bridging between optics and solid-state physics, following the historical evolution of the field of 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures.
This tutorial will concern at least the following TOMs:
TOM 5: Nanophotonics
TOM 6: Optical Materials
TOM 8: Nonlinear and Quantum Optics
TOM 10: Applications of Optics and Photonics
