Introduction to Graphene-Based Nanomaterials

'Torres, Roche, and Charlier have written a very attractive book on graphene-based materials that takes a reader or student with no prior exposure to this topic to a level where he or she can carry out research at a high level and work in this area professionally, assuming a standard background of a condensed matter physics graduate student … All in all I would expect this to become a popular text for present and future researchers who will be active in the present decade, advancing science and launching technological innovation.' Mildred Dresselhaus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

'This book covers the fundamental aspects of graphene, starting from the very beginning … The book should be useful not only for theoretical researchers but also for graduate students and experimental researchers, who will quickly understand the theorists' perspective. This book will be an important basic textbook on the physics of graphene.' R. Saito, Tohoku University

'… this is an excellent book for those interested in this special carbon-based material.' Dieter Vollath, MRS Bulletin

'The book assumes a basic knowledge of solid state physics on which they build an impressive edifice which houses careful treatments of the electronic structure and transport properties of graphene-related systems. … To underline the pedagogic role of the book the technical chapters contain exercises for the reader to explore. The authors also have made additional problems (and their solutions) as well as other material on-line. Overall this is an exceptional contribution to furthering graphene research, development and applications. It is to be hoped that the authors' many colleagues and collaborators will demonstrate their true appreciation of this achievement by ensuring that the growth in the sales of this book are as explosive as that of graphene research.' K. Alan Shore, Contemporary Physics
