ABSTRACT
The discovery of one-dimensional carbon nanotubes in 1991 and
two-dimensional graphene in 2004 has opened up exciting pathways
that could potentially revolutionize or bring about transformative
advancements in many areas of science and engineering in the
next several decades. This chapter provides a brief overview of
the physics of such carbon-based nanomaterials and subsequently
examines and discusses their applicability in the field of nanoelec-
tronics.
