Basic concepts in graphene

• Flatness, one atom thickness• Crystal structure• Dispersion relation• Chirality

Graphene has twoatoms per unit cell.

These two atoms fortwo interlockingtriangular sub-lattices.

- A atom

- B atom

“Imagine a piece of paper but a million times thinner. This ishow thick graphene is.

Imagine a material stronger than diamond. This is how stronggraphene is [in the plane].

Imagine a material more conducting than copper. This is howconductive graphene is.
