Possibility of High Tc Superconductivity in doped Graphene

Understand

Graphene is at the forefront of condensed matter sciences, because of a variety of interesting phenomena it supports.

• If graphene could support high Tc superconductivity, after doping for example, it will make it even more valuable.
• Some authors have suggested possibility of superconductivity in graphite like systems.
• However, an early suggestion of one of us (Baskaran) was unique in the sense it combined Pauling's classic idea of resonating valence bond physics with band theory to obtain some exciting results for superconductivity.
