In this age of digital electronics the quest for faster computational devices and high speed communications have driven a need for new materials that are capable of fulfilling these goals. In both areas the need for a thinner channel in transistors, faster carrier transport characteristics, and better magnetic materials dominate the direction of research. Recently 2D materials have been realized. These single layer atomic thick materials show potential in having extremely high carrier transport velocities at room temperature and, due to their natural 2D structure, are the thinnest material possible in nature. On the other hand spin-spray ferrites have showed …
