Abstract

Graphene is a new two-dimensional material prepared succesfully in experiments several years ago. It is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal (honeycomb) lattice. The two-dimensional nature of graphene leads to many intersting electronic, thermal, optical transparency, and high mobility properties. One particularly interesting property of graphene is that it exhibits the quantum Hall effect at room temperature. In addition graphene is substantially stronger than steel, and it is very stretchable.
