Experimental review of graphene

Understand

This review examines the properties of graphene from an experimental perspective.

• The intent is to review the most important experimental results at a level of detail appropriate for new graduate students who are interested in a general overview of the fascinating properties of graphene.
• While some introductory theoretical concepts are provided, including a discussion of the electronic band structure and phonon dispersion, the main emphasis is on describing relevant experiments and important results as well as some of the novel applications of graphene.
• In particular, this review covers graphene synthesis and characterization, field-effect behavior, electronic transport properties, magneto-transport, integer and fractional quantum Hall effects, mechanical properties, transistors, optoelectronics, graphene-based sensors, and biosensors.
