Book recommendation on fundamental physics in Graphene

In summary, the conversation revolves around books on Graphene, a supermaterial with potential applications in various fields. The best book to learn about fundamental physics in Graphene is "Graphene: Fundamentals and Emergent Applications" by Jamie H. Warner et al. There is also a book specifically focused on the physics of Graphene - "The Physics of Graphene" by Claudia Backes et al. For non-physicists, there are beginner-friendly books such as "Graphene: The Superstrong, Superthin, and Superversatile Material That Will Revolutionize the World" by Leslie Alan Horvitz and "Graphene: The Supermaterial That Will Change the World" by Les Johnson and Joseph E. Meany. For

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?
