Graphene is a perfectly two-dimensional single-atom thin membrane with zero bandgap. It has attracted huge attention due to its linear dispersion around the Dirac point, excellent transport properties, novel magnetic characteristics, and low spin-orbit coupling. Graphene and its nanostructures may have potential applications in spintronics, photonics, plasmonics and electronics. This book brings together a team of experts to provide an overview of the most advanced topics in theory, experiments, spectroscopy and applications of graphene and its nanostructures. It covers the state-of-the-art in tutorial-like and review-like manner to make the book useful not only to experts, but also newcomers and graduate students.

Presents the growth of graphene on various substrates, and characterization of graphene layers Gives rich information on properties, characterization and metrology of graphene Summarizes the current state of the art of graphene devices Provides a much needed and authoritative overview of a fast-developing field New nanoelectronic concept presented Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
