Preface
Carbon being one of the most fundamental elements in nature, carbon-based materials have attracted a great deal of attention during the past century. All organisms on Earth consist of carbon-based structures, and many materials important to human society are based on carbon. Carbon is the Group 14 element that has four valence electrons and forms different types of chemical bonds (covalent bonds) using several hybridizations (sp, sp2 , and sp3 ). Chemists are quite familiar with this flexibility, as it allows the formation of a wide variety of very interesting materials. The chemistry of electrically conductive carbon is currently one of the most important research areas in science. Many researchers and engineers are working on the design and synthesis of new carbon-based materials that will play important roles in human society as electronic polymers, plastics, medicines, and fuel, with the range of potential applications constantly increasing. However, physicists have not been as familiar with carbon and carbon-based materials as chemists. The research targets of solid-state physics emphasiz
