Graphene's rise to fame has been dramatic and sudden, with the 2010 physics Nobel Prize awarded to Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov less than 7 years after their first groundbreaking work isolating graphene from bulk graphite. This title will enable you to become an expert on this material by offering both fundamental theoretical knowledge as well as potential applications. Graphene's atomic and band-structure as well as its unique properties are examined in-depth. The work also discusses characterization methods and includes an overview of current and potentially ground-breaking emergent applications to help you explore promising research avenues and commercial prospects
Includes 70+ high quality graphical representations to more clearly convey complex information
Provides in-depth physical and chemical descriptions of graphene's fundamental structure and properties, acting as a time-saving reference for validated research
Reviews characterization techniques specifically relevant to graphene to provide the reader with practical experimental information and not just a theoretical background Book jacket
