This topical symposium is centered around the exciting developments in the field of graphene and related two-dimensional materials. Researchers working in the field of graphene synthesis, characterization, devices, and other interesting features are invited to submit abstracts. In addition to graphene, there has been a growing interest in exfoliating inorganic layered materials such as transition metal chalcogenides and oxides into atomically thin sheets. Also hexagonally ordered, atomically thin layers of inorganic material on crystalline supports are appearing. Abstracts discussing synthesis, characterization, and applications of such materials are likewise encouraged for submission.
