8.1 Introduction

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are attracting great interest since they are suitable model systems to play with theoretically predicted anomalous physical and chemical phenomena [1]. If we look at the history of science, some of these predictions have been constructed even at the dawn of quantum mechanics. For a long time, those “fascinating” but at the same time “unusual” physical ...
