Technical terms used in CIQM research: 

2D material crystal: Two-dimensional (2D) materials, sometimes referred to as single-layer materials, are crystalline materials consisting of a single layer of atoms. 
2D material flake 
Absorption:  is a condition in which something takes in another substance. Absorption of light or other electromagnetic radiation by a material. Diffusion of particles of gas or liquid into liquid or solid materials.
Analyzer: is a person or device that analyses given data. It examines in detail the structure of the given data and tries to find patterns and relationships between parts of the data. An analyzer can be a piece of hardware or a computer program running on a computer.
Applied voltage: means the voltage which is given by us to the component. 
Band-gap: also called an energy gap or bandage, is an energy range in a solid where no electron states can exist.
Beaker: generally a cylindrical container with a flat bottom. Most also have a small spout (or "beak") to aid pouring, as shown in the picture. Beakers are available in a wide range of sizes, from one millilitre up to several litres. A beaker is distinguished from a flask by having straight rather than sloping sides. The exception to this definition is a slightly conical-sided beaker called a Philips beaker. 
Charge: the susceptibility (state of being affected) of a body to one of the fundamental forces. In physics, a charge may refer to one of many different quantities, such as the electric charge in electromagnetism or the color charge in quantum chromodynamics.
