Since the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for
research on graphene in 2010, 2-D materials—nanosheets with atomic
thickness—have been a hot topic in science. This significant
interest is due to their outstanding properties, which have
enormous potential for a wide variety of applications. For
instance, combined with optical fibers, 2-D materials can enable
novel applications in the areas of sensors, non-linear optics, and
quantum technologies.
