NEW PROGRESS ON GRAPHENE RESEARCH

---

Graphene is a one-atom-thick and two-dimensional repetitive hexagonal lattice sp2-hybri‐ dized carbon layer. The extended honeycomb network of graphene is the basic building block of other important allotropes of carbon. 2D graphene can be wrapped to form 0D full‐ erenes, rolled to form 1D carbon nanotubes, and stacked to form 3D graphite. Depending on its unique structure, graphene yields many excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. It has been interesting to both theoreticians and experimentalists in various fields, such as materials, chemistry, physics, electronics, and biomedicine, and great prog‐ ress have been made in this rapid developing arena.
The aim of publishing this book is to present the recent new achievements about graphene research on a variety of topics. And the book is divided into two parts: Part I, from theoretical aspect, Graphene tunneling (Chapter 1), Localized states of Fabry-Perot type in graphene nanoribbons (Chapter 2), Electronic properties of deformed graphene nanoribbons (Chapter 3), The Čererenkov effect in graphene-like structures (Chapter 4), and Electronic and vibrational properties of adsorbed and embedded carbon nanofilms with defects (Chapter 5) are elaborated; Part II, from experimental aspect, Quantum transport in graphene quantum dots (Chapter 6), Advances in resistive switching memories based on graphene oxide (Chapter 7), Surface functionalization of graphene with polymers for enhanced properties (Chapter 8), and Carbon nanowalls: synthesis and applications (Chapter 9) are introduced. Also, in- depth discussions ranging from comprehensive understanding to challenges and perspectives are included for the respective topic. Each chapter is relatively independent of others, and the Table of Contents we hope will help readers quickly find topics of interest without necessarily having to go through the whole book.
Last, I appreciate the outstanding contributions from scientists with excellent academic re‐ cords, who are at the top of their fields on the cutting edge of technology, to the book. Research related to graphene updates every day, so it is impossible to embody all the progress in this collection, and hopefully it could be of any help to people who are interested in this field.
