Carbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes, some known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered 10-20 years ago (fullerenes and nanotubes). Interestingly, the two-dimensional form (graphene) was only obtained very recently, immediately attracting a great deal of attention. Electrons in graphene, obeying a linear dispersion relation, behave like massless relativistic particles. This results in the observation of a number of very peculiar electronic properties – from an anomalous quantum Hall effect to the absence of localization – in this, the first two-dimensional material. It also provides a bridge between condensed matter physics and quantum electrodynamics, and opens new perspectives for carbon-based electronics.

Discovery of graphene In 2004, a group of physicists from Manchester University, UK, led by Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov, used a very different and, at first glance, even naive approach to obtain graphene and lead a revolution in the field. They started with three-dimensional graphite and extracted a single sheet (a monolayer of atoms) using a technique called micromechanical cleavage. Graphite is a layered material and can be viewed as a number of two-dimensional graphene crystals weakly coupled together – exactly the property used by the Manchester team.

Electronic structure of graphene What makes graphene so attractive for research is that the spectrum closely resembles the Dirac spectrum for massless fermions. The Dirac equation describes relativistic quantum particles with spin ½, such as electrons. As a result, quasiparticles in graphene exhibit a linear dispersion relation
Electronic structure of bilayer graphene For two carbon layers, the nearest-neighbor tight-binding approximation predicts a gapless state with parabolic bands touching at the K and K’ points, instead of conical bands (massive fermions). At larger energies, bilayer graphene can be treated as a gapless semiconductor.

High-temperature superconductivity in layered iron compounds (FeAs system) M.V. Sadovskii, Yu.A. Izyumov, E.Z. Kurmaev, A.L. Ivanovskii (Kamihara Y et al J. Am.Chem.Phys.130 3296 (2008) Basic experimental data are presented for a new class of high-temperature superconductors, layered iron compounds of the typesREOFeAs (RE . La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Sm, ...), AFe2As2 (A . Ba, Sr, ...), AFeAs (A . Li, ...) and FeSe(Te). The electronic spectra of thesecompounds are discussed, including the effect of correlations and the spectrum and role of collective excitations (phonons and spin waves). Basic models for describing various types of magnetic ordering and Cooper pairing are reviewed. This is the first systematic review of a new class of high-Tc superconductors which includes iron-based layered compounds of the typesREOFeAs (RE: a rare earth element), AFe2As2 (A: Ba, Sr, Ca), LiFeAs, etc., all of which are antiferromagnetic metals whenstoichiometric and become superconducting (with a Tc maximum currently of 55 K) when doped with elements of different valence.The common structural element for all these compounds is layers of FeAs4 complexes. The electronic states near the Fermi level areformed by Fe 3d-states.
