The Neverending Story

Abstract

As noted in a recent editorial in Nature [1], “2D TMDCs now generate six publications each day”. With this volume of existing publications and such a pace, it is virtually impossible to keep this book up to-date. After this manuscript was submitted, numerous new publications appeared, which deserve to be included into this volume. Since it was difficult to incorporate them into the main text at this stage, the authors have chosen to summarise them in this Afterword as additions to the earlier Chapters. When the new publications provide additional information to that already described in the main body of this monograph, only the references with (self-explanatory) titles are given. In cases when the reported results are novel, a brief summary is also provided. For more information, the readers are referred to the original publications.
