The growing library of two-dimensional layered materials is providing researchers with a wealth of opportunity to explore and tune physical phenomena at the nanoscale. Here, we review the experimental and theoretical state-of-art concerning the electron spin dynamics in graphene, silicene, phosphorene, transition metal dichalcogenides, covalent heterostructures of organic molecules and topological materials. The spin transport, chemical and defect induced magnetic moments, and the effect of spin-orbit coupling and spin relaxation, are also discussed in relation to the field of spintronics.

Van der Waals heterostructure based on layered two-dimensional (2D) materials offers unprecedented opportunities to create materials with atomic precision by design. By combining superior properties of each component, such heterostructure also provid
es possible solutions to address various challenges of the electronic devices, especially those with vertical multilayered structures. Here, we report the realization of robust memristors for the first time based on van der Waals heterostructure of fully layered 2D materials (graphene/MoS2-xOx/graphene) and demonstrate a good thermal stability lacking in traditional memristors. Such devices have shown excellent switching performance with endurance up to 107 and a record-high operating temperature up to 340oC. By combining in situ high-resolution TEM and STEM studies, we have shown that the MoS2-xOx switching layer, together with the graphene electrodes and their atomically sharp interfaces, are responsible for the observed thermal stability at elevated temperatures. A well-defined conduction channel and a switching mechanism based on the migration of oxygen ions were also revealed. In addition, the fully layered 2D materials offer a good mechanical flexibility for flexible electronic applications, manifested by our experimental demonstration of a good endurance against over 1000 bending cycles. Our results showcase a general and encouraging pathway toward engineering desired device properties by using 2D van der Waals heterostructures.
One-dimensional (1D) quantum systems, which are predicted to exhibit novel states of matter in theory, have been elusive in experiment. Here we report a superlattice method of creating artificial 1D quantum stripes, which offers dimensional tunabilit
y from two- to one-dimensions. As a model system, we have fabricated 1D iridium (Ir) stripes using a-axis oriented superlattices of a relativistic Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 and a wide bandgap insulator LaSrGaO4, both of which are crystals with layered structure. In addition to the successful formation of 1D Ir-stripe structure, we have observed 1D quantum-confined electronic states from optical spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. Since this 1D superlattice approach can be applied to a wide range of layered materials, it opens a new era of 1D science.
The scientific community has witnessed tremendous expansion of research on layered (i.e. two-dimensional, 2D) materials, with increasing recent focus on applications to photonics. Layered materials are particularly exciting for manipulating light in
the confined geometry of photonic integrated circuits, where key material properties include strong and controllable light-matter interaction, and limited optical loss. Layered materials feature tunable optical properties, phases that are promising for electro-optics, and a panoply of polymorphs that suggest a rich design space for highly-nonperturbative photonic integrated devices based on phase-change functionality. All of these features are manifest in materials with band gap above the photonics-relevant near-infrared (NIR) spectral band ($sim$ 0.5 - 1 eV), meaning that they can be harnessed in refractive (i.e. non-absorptive) applications.
Important recent advances in transmission electron microscopy instrumentation and capabilities have made it indispensable for atomic-scale materials characterization. At the same time, the availability of two-dimensional materials has provided ideal
samples where each atom or vacancy can be resolved. Recent studies have also revealed new possibilities for a different application of focused electron irradiation: the controlled manipulation of structures and even individual atoms. Evaluating the full range of future possibilities for this method requires a precise physical understanding of the interactions of electrons with energies as low as 15 keV now used in (scanning) transmission electron microscopy, becoming feasible due to advances both in experimental techniques and in theoretical models. We summarize the state of current knowledge of the underlying physical processes based on the latest results on two-dimensional materials, with a focus on the physical principles of the electron-matter interaction, rather than the material-specific irradiation-induced defects it causes.
The relation between unusual Mexican-hat band dispersion, ferromagnetism and ferroelasticity is investigated using a combination of analytical, first-principles and phenomenological methods. The class of material with Mexican-hat band edge is studied
using the $alpha$-SnO monolayer as a prototype. Such band edge causes a van Hove singularity diverging with $frac{1}{sqrt{E}}$, and in p-type material leads to spatial and/or time-reversal spontaneous symmetry breaking. We show that an unexpected multiferroic phase is obtained in a range of hole density for which the material presents ferromagnetism and ferroelasticity simultaneously.
