Graphene Devices

Graphene is considered to be the pioneer two-dimensional material with an immense potential of research and industrial growth. It constitutes the foundation for novel electronic applications of nanomaterials. Successful segregation of single-layered graphene has instigated a lot of curiosity in unraveling the prospects of its use in synthesis of various electronic and electrical devices, predominantly because of its remarkable electronic characteristics. This book primarily focuses on practical uses of graphene determined by its unique characteristics. The mechanisms of thermal and electric transport in graphene, quantum dots, interface phenomena, non-equilibrium states, dissipation, and scattering are thoroughly discussed in the book. Detailed evaluations and comparisons between theoretical and experimental aspects of graphene based materials are illustrated with a range of practical examples. This book also emphases on carbon based nanomaterials (graphene) as novel materials for applications in modern electrical and electronic devices. The growth and applications of novel graphene technology are also discussed in the book. As new materials and new devices, nano-graphene materials are estimated to be pioneer materials that would surpass the conventional materials in terms of performance as well as cost. This book familiarizes the audience with latest accomplishments of graphene devices, and technological growth. The book is mainly focused at a broad range of audiences ranging from undergraduate students and doctoral fellows to industrial engineers and researchers. However, this book can be used specifically by materials scientists, chemists and physicists to expand their knowledge about synthesis, characterization and applications of graphene based materials.
