Graphene Carbon in Two Dimensions Mikhail I. Katsnelson Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen

Graphene is the thinnest known material, yet stronger than diamond, with potentially significant applications in nanotechnology. This book systematically presents the basic concepts of graphene physics, assuming undergraduate-level quantum and statistical physics training. It provides an important introduction for graduate students in nanoscience and nanotechnology, physicists and materials science researchers. ‘… the first of its kind for the field of graphene, and a very successful book. Starting from the basics, at student level, it guides the reader to the most important results in the field of graphene physics to date … This book is not only a brilliant systematic overview of the state-of-the-art in graphene research to date; it also offers a program of research for the next few years.’

Fundamentals of Condensed Matter and Crystalline Physics An Introduction for Students of Physics and Materials Science David L. Sidebottom Creighton University, Omaha

This undergraduate textbook merges traditional solid state physics with contemporary condensed matter physics, providing an up-to-date introduction to the major concepts that form the foundations of condensed materials.

Illustrations are closely integrated with the text and along with end-of-chapter exercises strongly support student learning.

‘This book provides a superb and much needed introduction to contemporary condensed matter physics, emphasizing that the solid phase covers much more than the perfect crystals of traditional textbooks. Liquids and selected topics of soft matter are also covered. In a pedagogical tour-de-force, Sidebottom explains the concepts in the simplest possible terms, without compromising accuracy. I highly [recommend] this book.’

Covering the chemistry and physics of conjugated polymers, this guide shows how to design materials with optimal performance for various electronic applications, such as in transistors, LEDs, and solar cells. Structure-property relationships are covered, in addition to how impurities or defects can affect performance and how the devices operate.

and Simon B. Ross-Murphy University of Manchester

Presenting a unique perspective on state-of-the-art physical gels, this interdisciplinary guide highlights recent developments and provides the information needed to understand current and future practical applications.

It shows the interconnections between the key aspects of gels, from molecules and structure through to rheological and functional properties.
