Tailored nano-electronics and photonics with two-dimensional materials at terahertz frequencies

The discovery of graphene and its fascinating capabilities have triggered an unprecedented interest in inorganic two-dimensional (2D) materials. Van der Waals (vdW) layered materials as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), the more recently re-discovered black phosphorus (BP) indeed display exceptional technological potential for engineering nano-electronic nano-photonic devices components by design, offering a unique platform developing new with variety ad-hoc properties. In this perspective article, we provide vision on key transformative applications 2D nanomaterials developments nanoelectronic, nanophotonic, optical plasmonic devices, at terahertz frequencies, highlighting how rich physical phenomena enabled their band-structure can allow those to boost vibrant field quantum science technologies.
