Graphene is one of the most intensively studied materials, and has unusual electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, which provide almost unlimited potential applications. This book provides an introduction to the electrical and transport properties of graphene and other two-dimensional nanomaterials, covering ab-initio to multiscale methods. Updated from the first edition, the authors have added chapters on other two-dimensional materials, spin-related phenomena, and an improved overview of Berry phase effects. Other topics include powerful order N electronic structure, transport calculations, and ac transport and multiscale transport methodologies. Chapters are complemented with concrete examples and case studies, questions and exercises, detailed appendices and computational codes. It is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers working in physics, materials science or engineering who are interested in the field of graphene-based nanomaterials.

Reviews & endorsements
‘Overall this second edition reflects well the new directions that have been followed by researchers in this field over the last past five years … So, I can only repeat the recommendation that I made in the review of the first edition: whether you are a student or an experienced researcher, this book will certainly act as a useful source of information if you decide to buy it.’ Sébastien Lebègue, Acta Crystallographica
See more reviews‘Compared with the first edition the scope has been extended to cover materials other than carbon, and few-layer systems … Some topics lightly touched on in the first edition are now treated in depth. … The attention to detail is excellent throughout … There are quite challenging problems to test the reader’s understanding … This is an excellent text on the theory of graphene. I am sure there will be further editions in which tantalising references to the most recent literature (for example, the analytical connection between the quantum Hall wave function and the flatness of bands at magic angles) will be explained in the authors’ clear style. The book deserves a place on the shelf of any researcher in the field.’ A. H. Harker, Contemporary Physics
