Graphene and 2D TMD material optical characterization with scanning probe microscopy

Two-dimensional(2D)materials distinguish themselves by high specific surface areas and wide tunability in nanophotonics research.As the developing of 2D materials optical and opto-electronic investigations,scanning probe microscopy provides high spatial resolution and strong local field confinement,which can realize the single molecular and atomic level of characterization.Here,we review the nanophotonic and opto-electronic features of both pristine and hybrid 2Dmaterials which are measured by scanning probe microscopy.The conclusion and prospective of scanning probe techniques for the future2Dmaterials characterization and practical applications are presented.
