"The authors have succeeded in linking and explaining all their calculated results through the basic concept of chemical bonding. Based on the wide range of graphene-related structures that this book covers, it provides useful information for developing new applications. In general, the approach and selection of topics are excellent."—Godfrey Gumbs, City University of New York, USA"One of the most comprehensive attempts to review the electronic structure and the optical properties of graphene multilayers."—Rafael Roldán, Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid ICMM-CSIC, Spain
