Two-dimensional nanocrystal family consists of various members like graphene, phosphorene, transistion metal dichalcogenides, boron nitride, borophane etc. The combined electronic attributes make them potential candidate for the development of nanoelectronic devices and quantum technology, which are the technology of future. In some of our recent works, we have demonstrated ways to use these materials in a variety of applications like: (a) strain controlled of direct-to-indirect band gap transition for optical applications, (ii) conductivity modulation and occourrence of negative differential conductance for high-frequency generation and (c) design of robust biosensor with supreme accuracy in nanosensing etc.
