GRAPHENE: STATUS AND PROSPECTS

| A. K. Geim
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is a remarkable material with exceptional properties. It is the thinnest and strongest material known, with high electrical and thermal conductivity, and unique electronic behavior described by a Dirac equation. Graphene's charge carriers exhibit high mobility, zero effective mass, and can travel long distances without scattering. It is impermeable to gases and has both brittle and ductile properties. Recent research has shown that graphene can be produced in large quantities through various methods, including mechanical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition, and epitaxial growth. These methods have enabled the creation of graphene wafers, which are essential for future applications. Graphene's electronic properties are of great interest, with studies revealing its potential for quantum phenomena and applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and sensors. Graphene's chemical properties are also being explored, with research into its reactivity and the possibility of functionalizing it for specific applications. Graphene's mechanical and thermal properties are also being studied, with findings indicating its strength, flexibility, and thermal conductivity. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in controlling its properties and scaling up production. Graphene's potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and sensors are promising, and ongoing research is expected to lead to new discoveries and innovations in the field.Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is a remarkable material with exceptional properties.
