Two dimensional (2D) materials continue to hold great promise for future electronics, due to their atomic-scale thicknesses and wide range of tunable properties. However, commercial efforts in this field are relatively recent, and much progress is required to fully realize 2D materials for commercial success. Here, we present a roadmap for the realization of electronic-grade 2D materials. We discuss technology drivers, along with key aspects of synthesis and materials engineering required for development of these materials. Additionally, we highlight several fundamental milestones required for realization of electronic-grade 2D materials, and intend this article to serve as a guide for researchers in the field.

In addition to being the core quantity in density functional theory, the charge density can be used in many tertiary analyses in materials sciences from bonding to assigning charge to specific atoms. The charge density is data-rich since it contains
information about all the electrons in the system. With increasing utilization of machine-learning tools in materials sciences, a data-rich object like the charge density can be utilized in a wide range of applications. The database presented here provides a modern and user-friendly interface for a large and continuously updated collection of charge densities as part of the Materials Project. In addition to the charge density data, we provide the theory and code for changing the representation of the charge density which should enable more advanced machine-learning studies for the broader community.
Recently, a group of MAX phases, (Mo$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, (Mo$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, (W$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, (W$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, and (V$_{2/3}$Zr$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, with in-plane ordered double transition metals, named iMAX phas
es, have been synthesized. Experimentally, some of these MAX phases can be chemically exfoliated into two-dimensional (2D) single- or multilayered transition metal carbides, so-called MXenes. Accordingly, the 2D nanostructures derived from iMAX phases are named iMXenes. Here, we investigate the structural stabilities and electronic structures of the experimentally discovered iMAX phases and their possible iMXene derivatives. We show that the iMAX phases and their pristine, F, or OH-terminated iMXenes are metallic. However, upon O termination, (Mo$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$C, (Mo$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$C, (W$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$C, and (W$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$C iMXenes turn into semiconductors. Owing to the absence of centrosymmetry, the semiconducting iMXenes may find applications in piezoelectricity. Our calculations reveal that the semiconducting iMXenes possess giant piezoelectric coefficients as large as 45$times10^{-10}$~C/m.
Herein, we demonstrate that first-principles calculations can be used for mapping electronic properties of two-dimensional (2d) materials with respect to non-uniform strain. By investigating four representative single-layer 2d compounds with differen
t symmetries and bonding characters, namely 2d-${MoS_2}$, phosphorene, ${alpha}$-Te, and ${beta}$-Te, we reveal that such a mapping can be an effective guidance for advanced strain engineering and development of strain-tunable nanoelectronics devices, including transistors, sensors, and photodetectors. Thus, we show that ${alpha}$-Te and ${beta}$-Te are considerably more elastic compared to the 2d compounds with strong chemical bonding. In case of ${beta}$-Te, the mapping uncovers an existence of curious regimes where non-uniform deformations allow to achieve unique localization of band edges in momentum space that cannot be realized under either uniform or uniaxial deformations. For all other systems, the strain mapping is shown to provide deeper insight into the known trends of band gap modulation and direct-indirect transitions under strain. Hence, we prove that the standard way of analyzing selected strain directions is insufficient for some 2d systems, and a more general mapping strategy should be employed instead.
We present Quantum Unfolding, a Fortran90 program for unfolding first-principles electronic energy bands. It unfolds energy bands accurately by handling the Fourier components of Bloch wavefunctions, which are reconstructed from Wannier functions fro
m Wannier90. Due to the wide application of Wannier90 package and the possibility of focusing only on the most important energy bands, the present code works very conveniently.
We introduce a simple but efficient electronic fitness function (EFF) that describes the electronic aspect of the thermoelectric performance. This EFF finds materials that overcome the inverse relationship between $sigma$ and $S$ based on the complex
ity of the electronic structures regardless of specific origin (e.g., isosurface corrugation, valley degeneracy, heavy-light bands mixture, valley anisotropy or reduced dimensionality). This function is well suited for application in high throughput screening. We applied this function to 75 different thermoelectric and potential thermoelectric materials including full- and half-Heuslers, binary semiconductors and Zintl phases. We find an efficient screening using this transport function. The EFF identifies known high performance $p$- and $n$-type Zintl phases and half-Heuslers. In addition, we find some previously unstudied phases with superior EFF.
