Graphene: Status and Prospects [PDF]
Science, 2009 Expanding Flatland Since its discovery and isolation some 5 years ago, research on graphene has exploded. The sheets of carbon atoms, just one atom thick, exhibit a vast array of properties—mechanical, optical, and electrical—that make it an ideal test ...

Quantum spin Hall effect in graphene. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2004 We study the effects of spin orbit interactions on the low energy electronic structure of a single plane of graphene. We find that in an experimentally accessible low temperature regime the symmetry allowed spin orbit potential converts graphene from an ...

Fine Structure Constant Defines Visual Transparency of Graphene [PDF]
Science, 2008 There are few phenomena in condensed matter physics that are defined only by the fundamental constants and do not depend on material parameters. Examples are the resistivity quantum, h/e2 (h is Planck's constant and e the electron charge), that appears ...

Water friction in nanofluidic channels made from two-dimensional crystals
Nature Communications, 2021 Flow through nanometer scale channels facilitates an unmasked study of water-surface molecular interactions. Here, Keerthi et al. show with conduits made from graphite and hexagonal boron nitride that strong hydrophobicity does not rule out enhanced ...
