Fig. 1.2 Chart of representative topics highlighted in a review article on advances in functional
nanomaterials science arranged in three major sections, and their relationship to each other [47].
For an orientation in the typical optoelectronic materials landscape, common platforms and novel
materials are indicated. Schematically, the symbolic reference to elements of the periodic table
with atomic number as well as mean rounded mass in atomic weight units u, and a reference to
more complex materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerenes (C 60 molecules)
and their derivatives are given. Among the family of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs),
the most popular 2D semiconductors are indicated. Functionalisation, dimensionality reduction and
heterostructuring are typical approaches of materials engineering used to obtain improved optoelectronic and quantum technological devices. qu: quantum; QD: quantum dot; vdW: van der Waals.
Applications range for instance from lasers/light-emitting diodes (LEDs), field-effect transistors
(FETs) to single-photon sources (SPSs), and more. Adapted with permission under the terms of
