When graphene is placed in a strong magnetic field it exhibits quantum Hall states at fillings that can be predicted by taking into account the relativistic form of the low-energy electronic excitations and ignoring interactions between electrons. However, additional quantum Hall states are observed at filling fractions $\nu$ = 0 and $\nu$ = $\pm$1 that are not explained within a picture of...

From the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, recognizing the synthesis of fullerene, to the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics, awarded to the discovery of graphene, carbon-based nanomaterials have evolved into one of the hottest area in materials science. Utilization of large-area graphene thin films as transparent conductors in solar cells and energy-efficient light emitting devices may take...

Due to the linear dispersion of graphene, it has recently been predicted that third harmonic generation should be observed in monolayer graphene [1]. Although recent experiments have demonstrated third harmonic generation in a 45-layer thick sample [2], there has been no indication of harmonic generation in monolayer graphene [3]. To understand why this is the case and to try to maximize the...

The area of carbon nanotubes (CNT)-polymer composites has been progressing rapidly in recent years. Pure CNT and CNT-polymer composites have many useful (industry related) properties ranging from good electrical conductivity to superior strength. However the full potential of using pure CNTs has been severely limited because of complications associated with the dispersion of CNTs. CNTs tend...
