| Research Abstract |
Graphene is a one layer of graphite, or a one-atom-thick sheet composed of carbon atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice. Recently, single- and multilayer graphenes are experimentally realized, and its unconventional electronic properties have been extensively studied. This research project closely studied basic electronic properties including conductivity, light absorption and diamagnetism (repelling magnet) in graphenes. It achieved a theory which systematically describes different natures depending on the numbers of layers as well as stacking manner, and also found novel features peculiar to graphenes which are markedly different from those in usual materials.
