Graphene: A Peculiar Allotrope Of Carbon

Abstract

Graphene is a two dimensional one atom thick allotrope of Carbon. Electrons in grapheme behave as massless relativistic particles. It is a 2 dimensional nanomaterial with many peculiar properties. In grapheme both integral and fractional quantum Hall effects are observed. Many practical application are seen from use of Graphene material.The Himalayan PhysicsVol. 3, No. 3, July 2012Page: 87-88
