With growth of graphene for the first time in 2004, and consequently to be awarded Nobel prize by reporters of that in 2010, research on two-dimensional materials have been come under the spot light. Exotic and intriguing phenomena that have been observed in two-dimensional structures help more increasing research in these materials. In QNRL, numerous studies have been done on the properties of open and closed systems based on the two-dimensional materials. To study these materials suitable for electronics applications, electronic and phonon structures, optical and magnetic properties have been investigated in these matters. In addition, in QNRL research and study on thermoelectric and Seebeck effects have been done. To calculate in this field of research, we use different software based on tight-binding (non-interacting electron gas assumption) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) such as Quantum Espresso and SIESTA. Study and research on the materials modeling in QNRL can be divided in the following main divisions:
1- Electronic, phonon and optical properties of two-dimensional materials
2- Magnetic properties
3- Thermoelectric effects
