Falko P. Netzer and A. Fortunelli from CNR-ICCOM and IPCF, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in Pisa, ITA published a book on two dimensional oxide materials: its title "Oxide-Materials at the two-dimensional limit" containing a lot of interesting details on two-dimensional oxide materials and how to characterize them by different surface science techniques as well as theoretical background to understand them properly (a short summary of the book can be found down below.).

Book back cover:
This book summarizes the current knowledge of two-dimensional oxide materials. The fundamental properties of 2-D oxide systems are explored in terms of atomic structure, electronic behavior and surface chemistry. The concept of polarity in determining the stability of 2-D oxide layers is examined, charge transfer effects in ultrathin oxide films are reviewed as well as the role of defects in 2-D oxide films. The novel structure concepts that apply in oxide systems of low dimensionality are addressed, and a chapter giving an overview of state-of-the-art theoretical methods for electronic structure determination of nanostructured oxides is included. Special emphasis is given to a balanced view from the experimental and the theoretical side. Two-dimensional materials, and 2-D oxides in particular, have outstanding behavior due to dimensionality and proximity effects. Several chapters treat prototypical model systems as illustrative examples to discuss the peculiar physical and chemical properties of 2-D oxide systems. The chapters are written by renowned experts in the field.
