Composition and phase engineering of metal chalcogenides and phosphorous chalcogenides
Two-dimensional (2D) materials with multiphase, multielement crystals such as transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) (based on V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cd, Pt and Pd) and transition metal phosphorous chalcogenides (TMPCs) offer a unique platform to explore novel physical phenomena. However, the synthesis of a single-phase/single-composition crystal of these 2D materials via chemical vapour deposition is still challenging. Here we unravel a competitive-chemical-reaction-based growth mechanism to manipulate the nucleation and growth rate. Based on the growth mechanism, 67 types of TMCs and TMPCs with a defined phase, controllable structure and tunable component can be realized. The ferromagnetism and superconductivity in FeXy can be tuned by the y value, such as superconductivity observed in FeX and ferromagnetism in FeS2 monolayers, demonstrating the high quality of as-grown 2D materials. This work paves the way for the multidisciplinary exploration of 2D TMPCs and TMCs with unique properties.A competitive-chemical-reaction-based growth mechanism by controlling the kinetic parameters can easily realize the growth of transition metal chalcogenides and transition metal phosphorous chalcogenides with different compositions and phases.

Metamaterials and metasurfaces
Metamaterials are commonly known to make things invisible. As artificially structured metal-dielectric composites mimicking natural materials they exhibit properties that are not available in Nature, including: negative refractive index, reversal of Doppler effect and the reversed ♭ØeCerenkov effect. Metasurface is a planar version of metamaterial exhibiting a number of novel functionalities. This book reviews the physics, technology, and design issues related to metamaterials and metasurfaces. The text covers the fundamental concepts and potential applications as well as future trends. It explores all aspects of metamaterial's and metasurface's physics and engineering operating in the electromagnetic spectrum covering microwave, terahertz and optical domain. This is a suitable text for teaching in bachelor's and master's degree courses on metamaterials and metasurfaces in universities and engineering colleges. The key audience for this book includes students enrolled on metamaterials and metasurfaces modules, researchers, as well as industry professionals.

Applications of Microwave Materials: A Review
The performance of microwave devices mainly depends on the properties of materials used in the fabrication. Knowledge of material properties at microwave frequencies is a prerequisite to select suitable materials for various microwave applications and vice versa. In this review, seven categories of materials and their applications in a microwave regime are elaborately discussed. The categories include magnetic materials, carbon-based materials, flexible or stretchable materials, biomaterials, phantoms, tunable materials and metamaterials. A brief overview of other important microwave materials such as low-loss ceramic dielectric materials, low-loss polymer ceramic composites, glass ceramics and multilayer ceramics is also given. The objective of this review is to expose the world of materials for wide microwave applications and thereby properly assisting the material selection for specific applications. Moreover, this review has dual significance. It helps material scientists to develop new materials and modify the properties of the available materials with respect to the application requirements. It also assists microwave engineers to select and use appropriate materials for different microwave applications.
