Graphene - Properties, Preparation, Characterisation and Devices

Graphene is a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon with unique properties - such as the ability to transmit light and conduct electrons - which could make it potentially suitable for a variety of applications, including electronics, sensors and photonics. Graphene reviews the preparation and properties of this exciting material.
Chapters in part one explore the preparation of graphene including epitaxial growth of graphene on silicon carbide, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of graphene films, chemically derived graphene, and graphene produced by electrochemical exfoliation. Part two focuses on the characterization of graphene using techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and Raman spectroscopy. Photoemission of low dimensional carbon systems is also discussed. Finally, chapters in part three discuss electronic transport properties of graphene and graphene devices. Chapters highlight electronic transport in bilayer graphene, single charge transport, and the effect of adsorbents on electronic transport in graphene. Further chapters explore graphene spintronics and nano-electro-mechanics (NEMS).
Graphene is a comprehensive resource for academics and materials scientists and electrical engineers working in the microelectronics and optoelectronics industry.
