Book Description

Publication Date: 5 April 2012 | ISBN-10: 0521195403 | ISBN-13: 978-0521195409

Graphene is the thinnest known material, a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal cells a single atom thick, and yet stronger than diamond. It has potentially significant applications in nanotechnology, 'beyond-silicon' electronics, solid-state realization of high-energy phenomena and as a prototype membrane which could revolutionise soft matter and 2D physics. In this book, leading graphene research theorist Mikhail Katsnelson presents the basic concepts of graphene physics. Topics covered include Berry phase, topologically protected zero modes, Klein tunneling, vacuum reconstruction near supercritical charges, and deformation-induced gauge fields. The book also introduces the theory of flexible membranes relevant to graphene physics and discusses electronic transport, optical properties, magnetism and spintronics. Standard undergraduate-level knowledge of quantum and statistical physics and solid state theory is assumed. This is an important textbook for graduate students in nanoscience and nanotechnology and an excellent introduction for physicists and materials science researchers working in related areas.

Review

'… the first of its kind for the field of graphene, and a very successful book. Starting from the basics, at student level, it guides the reader to the most important results in the field of graphene physics to date … This book is not only a brilliant systematic overview of the state-of-the-art in graphene research to date; it also offers a program of research for the next few years.' Dr Kostya Novoselov, University of Manchester, co-recipient (together with Professor A. Geim) of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics

Book Description

Graphene is the thinnest known material, yet stronger than diamond, with potentially significant applications in nanotechnology. This book systematically presents the basic concepts of graphene physics, assuming undergraduate-level quantum and statistical physics training. It provides an important introduction for graduate students in nanoscience and nanotechnology, physicists and materials science researchers.

Amazon.com: 3.0 out of 5 stars 1 review

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be more educational 19 Jun 2013

By Robert Wells - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book by M. I. Katsnelson is a good book and brings the essential research that is being conducted with graphene. However, the book is not self-contained and, in many occasions, the reader needs to download research papers to understand what the author is talking about. In addition to that, it would be very hard for a beginner to understand the topics in the book. It is a good book if you are already working in the area but it would not be a book for undergraduate and 1st year PhD students
