Recenzje

'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
