Preface
Graphene, the leading example of a two-dimensional crystalline material, is exceptionally conductive of electricity and heat even at 1 atom thickness, taken as 0.34 nm. This short book, in the series SpringerBriefs in Materials Science, is intended to survey emerging applications of the material that has received great attention since its isolation in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. These brilliant experimental physicists shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for their discoveries. Following introductory information on the material and conduction processes that occur in it, we discuss methods of making graphene in varying degrees of perfection and cost.
