This article reviews the basic theoretical aspects of graphene, a one-atom-thick allotrope of carbon, with unusual two-dimensional Dirac-like electronic excitations. The Dirac electrons can be controlled by application of external electric and magnetic fields, or by altering sample geometry and/or topology. The Dirac electrons behave in unusual ways in tunneling, confinement, and the integer quantum Hall effect. The electronic properties of graphene stacks are discussed and vary with stacking order and number of layers. Edge (surface) states in graphene depend on the edge termination (zigzag or armchair) and affect the physical properties of nanoribbons. Different types of disorder modify the Dirac equation leading to unusual spectroscopic and transport properties. The effects of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in single layer and multilayer graphene are also presented.read more

TL;DR: Two different intercalation processes involving chloroaluminate anions at the two discharging plateaus are shown, while C–Cl bonding on the surface, or edges of natural graphite, is found using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations are employed to investigate the intercalated behaviour of choloraluminateAnions in the graphite electrode.

TL;DR: Graphene provides the ideal prototype two-dimensional test material to investigate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and the 2d nature of graphene allows for a closed-form description of the Raman enhancement, which scales with the nanoparticle cross section, the fourth power of the Mie enhancement, in agreement with experiments.
