- Contents
- Materials that are effectively two dimensional - a single or a few atoms in thickness - are the subject of one of the great revivals in solid state physics. For a long time a subject of only academic interest, or existing as hard to access two dimensional electron gases at semi-conductor heterojunctions, the discovery of graphene - a single atom thick layer of carbon - initiated the field of two dimensional materials as a genuine new frontier in condensed matter physics.
In this lecture course we will examine these materials from the theoretical point of view and focusing on the many profound differences from physics of three dimensional materials. The course will effective Hamiltonian theory as a theoretical tool to underpin their study, and examine the gauge theory of deformations in graphene and related 2d materials; the 2d topological surface state of certain three dimensional materials, extended defects, and transport.
