dc.descriptionCarbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes, some being known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered ten to twenty years ago (fullerenes, nanotubes). Quite interestingly, the two-dimensional form (graphene) has been obtained only very recently, and immediately attracted great deal of attention. Electrons in graphene, obeying linear dispersion relation, behave like massless relativistic particles, which results in a number of very peculiar electronic properties observed in this first two-dimensional material: from an anomalous quantum Hall effect to the absence of localization. It also provides a bridge between condensed matter physics and quantum electrodynamics and opens new perspectives for carbon-based electronics.
