This book assesses the thermal feasibility of using materials with atomically thin layers such as graphene and the transition metal dichalcogenides family in electronics and optoelectronics applications. The focus is on thermal conductivity measurement techniques currently available for the investigation of thermal performance at the material and device level. In addition to providing detailed information on the available techniques, the book introduces readers to novel techniques based on photothermal effects.

Highlights the use of materials with atomically thin layers in electronics and optoelectronic devices Discusses the thermal performance of materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides Introduces readers to novel techniques for thermal measurement based on the photothermal effects
