Summary

Carbon nanomaterials are major keystones of modern nanoscience, starting from fullerenes discovered in 1985, through carbon nanotubes (1991), and ending at the recent discovery from 2004 -graphene, a two dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms.

The field of graphene-related research has grown at a spectacular pace since single-layer flakes were first isolated. What began as an exciting material for fundamental physics has now become the focus of efforts by scientists in a wide range of disciplines.

There has been an explosion of ideas that suggest graphene for virtually every feasible use. Despite the optimism about grapheme based electronics: "graphenium” microprocessors are unlikely to appear for the next 20 years. In the meantime, one can certainly hope for many other graphene-based applications to come of age. In this respect, this seminar will present several 2D and 3D devices fabricated at the ISOM.
