Book recommendation on fundamental physics in Graphene

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for books that cover fundamental physics in graphene, particularly for graduate-level students. The Dirac equation is highlighted as a crucial concept for understanding electron motion in graphene. Participants emphasize the importance of selecting texts that focus on fundamental physics rather than general overviews. A notable reference mentioned is the review article by Geim and Novoselov, which is recognized for its relevance in the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Dirac equation in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with condensed matter physics concepts
  • Knowledge of graphene's electronic properties
  • Experience with academic literature and review articles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research graduate-level textbooks on condensed matter physics focusing on graphene
  • Explore the review article by Geim and Novoselov for foundational insights
  • Investigate advanced topics in quantum mechanics related to the Dirac equation
  • Look into recent publications and reviews on graphene's electronic behavior
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in condensed matter physics, researchers interested in graphene, and educators seeking advanced resources on fundamental physics in graphene.

I am a condensed matter grad. student, but do not work on Graphene. I am interested in learning about the fundamental physics in graphene (e.g. the need to use Dirac equation to represent the motion of electrons). I know that many books are there, but not all are geared towards fundamental physics at a graduate level (or higher).

Any recommendations?
 
There are a ton of review articles out there, one by Geim and novoselov
