Abstract
In this chapter we present the recently discovered two-dimensional materials and their physical properties, which are useful for nanoelectronic devices. The synthesis methods play a central role in this chapter, since this is the key issue in the further development of this new emerging area of research. Details about characterization of these atomically thin materials are intrinsically linked to the growth methods.
