6.1 Introduction

Since the first appearance in 2004 by Andre Geim and his group at the University of Manchester by isolating single layers of graphite, which are called graphene. This discovery was given graphene and its derivatives attention in different fields and created a revolution in 2D materials science and condensed matter physic, owing to their amazing unique physics and chemical properties. This discovery was a seminal event in the field of optoelectronic materials, and it opened up a wide variety of theoretical and experimental research work in ...
