Electronic Properties of Monolayer and Multilayer Graphene

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Physics of Graphene

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

We present a theoretical review of the basic electronic properties of graphene and its multilayers in terms of the effective mass approximation. Using the low-energy effective Hamiltonian, we describe the electronic spectra, the transport properties, the optical absorption and the orbital magnetism, which are distinct from those of conventional systems.
