The dipole vector of hexagonal systems.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.Valleytronics based on 2D materials is a brand-new field which is considered as the heart of next-generation semiconductor technology. Valleytronics focuses on the generation and detection of valley-polarized currents, as well as the design and fabrication of optical devices, which achieve circularly polarized light absorption and electroluminescence. This book aims to give an overview of the recent theoretical and experimental developments achieved in valleytronics based on various 2D materials. After some experimental progress at room temperature in manipulating the valley degree of freedom, valleytronics is considered superior to spintronics in the semiconductor industry. The book provides a useful reference for the growing community of researchers in the field of valleytronics, 2D materials and semiconductors. It will ignite the readers' interest in valleytronics and push the field forward.Graduate students and researchers working in the fields of spintronics, valleytronics and 2D materials.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Sake Wang earned his PhD in physics at Southeast University, China, in 2016.
