Frontiers of Nano-Optoelectronic Systems edited by Lorenzo Pavesi, Eugenia V. Buzaneva.

Since their discovery, low dimensional materials have never stopped to intrigue scientists, whether they are physicists, chemists, or biochemists. Investigations of their nature and functions have always been and still are numerous and as soon as a solution is found for a given question, another one...
