1. Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon FilmsScience · 2004 · 67,115 citations

   We describe monocrystalline graphitic films, which are a few atoms thick but are nonetheless stable under ambient conditions, metallic, and of remarkably high quality. The films are found to be a two-dimensional semimetal with a tiny overlap between valence and…

2. The electronic properties of grapheneReviews of Modern Physics · 2009 · 24,907 citations

   This article reviews the basic theoretical aspects of graphene, a one-atom-thick allotrope of carbon, with unusual two-dimensional Dirac-like electronic excitations. The Dirac electrons can be controlled by application of external electric and magnetic fields, or by altering sample geometry and/or…

3. Raman Spectrum of Graphene and Graphene LayersPhysical Review Letters · 2006 · 15,133 citations

   Graphene is the two-dimensional building block for carbon allotropes of every other dimensionality. We show that its electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that clearly evolves with the number of layers. The D peak second order changes in…

4. Graphene: Status and ProspectsScience · 2009 · 13,995 citations

   Graphene is a wonder material with many superlatives to its name. It is the thinnest known material in the universe and the strongest ever measured. Its charge carriers exhibit giant intrinsic mobility, have zero effective mass, and can travel for…

5. Two-dimensional atomic crystalsProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2005 · 11,714 citations

   We report free-standing atomic crystals that are strictly 2D and can be viewed as individual atomic planes pulled out of bulk crystals or as unrolled single-wall nanotubes. By using micromechanical cleavage, we have prepared and studied a variety of 2D…

6. Fine Structure Constant Defines Visual Transparency of GrapheneScience · 2008 · 9,129 citations

   There are few phenomena in condensed matter physics that are defined only by the fundamental constants and do not depend on material parameters. Examples are the resistivity quantum, h/e2 (h is Planck's constant and e the electron charge), that appears…

7. Control of Graphene's Properties by Reversible Hydrogenation: Evidence for GraphaneScience · 2009 · 4,185 citations

   Although graphite is known as one of the most chemically inert materials, we have found that graphene, a single atomic plane of graphite, can react with atomic hydrogen, which transforms this highly conductive zero-overlap semimetal into an insulator. Transmission electron…
