The first two parts are required reading for the beginner planning to perform DFT calculations. The advanced student interested in conducting research in condensed-matter physics will benefit from continuing on to the last two parts. The narrative is aided by appropriate equations and detailed figures. References at the end of the book direct the reader to relevant books and review articles for each chapter. The authors pre-sent the underlying mathematics elegantly, which makes the textbook quite readable for those with a good mathematical background. Students lacking a

wo-dimensional (2D) materials are among the advanced materials that have currently gained a lot of research interest. Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are 2D semiconducting materials that find applications in electronics and optoelectronic devices. Twodimensional-TMDCs are often referred to as “next-generation graphene,” with interesting properties due to their unique band structures in the monolayer. This book provides a thorough description of 2D-TMDCs in a reader-friendly manner. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the composition of TMDCs. Chapter 2 discusses the chemistry of transition-metal elements and chalcogenides in TMDCs. Chapter 3 describes the properties of bulk (3D) TMDCs, including their crystal structures and the associated group theory, electronic structures, magnetic properties, and optical properties as revealed by absorption, Raman, and infrared spectroscopy. The pressure-induced transformation of TMDCs is also summarized. In chapter 4 and onward, the focus is on 2D-TMDCs. Chapter 4 introduces the top-down and bottom-up approaches to
form 2D-TMDCs, as well as the materials transfer and analysis techniques. Chapter 5 focuses on the structural analysis of TMDC phases (1T [tetragonal] and 2H [hexagonal]) and their phase transitions, defects, grain boundaries, and doping. The chapter describes other TMDC nanostructures, including TMDC nanotubes, nanoribbons, and quantum dots. Chapters 6 to 12 provide detailed descriptions of various properties of 2D-TMDCs. Chapter 6 reviews theoretical aspects of the electronic band structure, the indirect-to-direct gap transition, and bandgap tuning. This is followed by experimental evidence such as photoluminescence (PL), photocurrent, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Chapter 7 discusses the symmetry structures in odd and even layers of TMDCs and their characterization by Raman spectroscopy. Chapter 8 focuses on luminescence in 2D-TMDCs, especially PL spectroscopy. Chapter 9 continues discussion of exciton behaviors and dynamics in 2D-TMDCs and their heterostructures. Chapter 10 discusses magnetic properties due to edges, defects,
