NANOSCALE BASED GRAPHENE: A REVIEW OF ITS PROPERTIES FOR ELECTRONIC AND PHOTONIC APPLICATIONS

The discovery of a new material brings the most exciting and fruitful periods of scientific and technological research. With a new material creates new opportunities to reexamine old problems as well as pose new ones. One of the most interesting features of graphene is the rich physics set up by the various nanostructures it may adopt. The planar structure of graphene makes this material ideal for patterning at the nanoscale. This review article presents recent progress in graphene research and in the production methods, and subsequently describes various graphene applications.
