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

Lifetime effects in low-stage intercalated graphite systems.
TL;DR: A detailed calculation of the lifetime of a conduction electron in a stage-1, acceptor-type GIC is presented, which finds that it is very important to include the dynamic screening in the scheme, because the Coulomb interaction can generate plasmons that provide an efficient way for electrons to decay.
