3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 Graphites and Transport
We could have chosen another more general title to this chapter: Electronic conduction mechanisms in solids: from semiclassical to quantum transport. This is to say that the story of transport in carbons and graphites follows closely that of transport in general, and that, because of the various aspects of conduction which are covered by these materials, whether electrical or thermal, one may cover the whole spectrum of solid state conduction. In some instances, one has the possibility to tailor these conductivities, mainly through intercalation and, to a lesser extent, by doping.
