Review of Anisotropic 2D Materials: Controlled Growth, Optical Anisotropy Modulation, and Photonic Applications

Anisotropic 2D materials are promising building blocks for future photonic and optoelectronic devices due to their low structural symmetry and in‐plane optical anisotropy. This review systematically summarizes the crystalline structure, growth dynamics, optical anisotropy and their modulation strategies, and the corresponding photonic applications for emerging anisotropic 2D materials. First, the physical properties and crystalline structures of...
