Crystalline GaN films can be grown even on amorphous substrates with the use of graphene buffer layers by pulsed sputtering deposition (PSD). The graphene buffer layers allowed us to grow highly c-axisoriented GaN films at low substrate temperatures. Full-color GaN-based LEDs can be fabricated on the GaN/graphene structures and they are operated successfully. This indicates that the present tec...

The commensurability condition is applied to determine the hierarchy of fractional fillings of Landau levels in monolayer and in bilayer graphene. The filling rates for fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in graphene are found in the first three Landau levels in one-to-one agreement with the experimental data. The presence of even denominator filling fractions in the hierarchy for FQHE in bil...

In transmission electron micrography of few-layer thick graphene samples, two distinct regions, a region of superlattice and an adjacent region of parallel straight bands, are seen. These two features are explained as Moire patterns produced by (1) rotation of top part of one of the graphene layers and (2) a small change in the shape of the bottom part of the same layer. It is interesting to no...

We reveal that there exists a class of graphene structures (a subclass of bilayer graphene nanoribbons) which has an exceptionally strong optical response in the terahertz (THz) and far infrared (FIR) regime. The peak conductance of THz/FIR active bilayer ribbons is around 2 orders of magnitude higher than the universal conductance of sigma(0) = e(2)/4variant Planck's over 2pi observed in graph...

In this entry, we review thermal properties of graphene and multilayer graphene and discuss in detail the optothermal Raman technique developed for the thermal conductivity measurements. We also outline different theoretical approaches used for the description of phonon transport in graphene and provide comparison with the available experimental thermal conductivity data.
