This book discusses the essential properties of carbon nanotubes and 2D graphene systems. The book focuses on the fundamental excitation properties of a large range of graphene-related materials, presenting a new theoretical framework that couples electronic properties and e-e Coulomb interactions together in order to thoroughly explore Coulomb excitations and decay rates in carbon-nanotube-related systems. This book is aimed at researchers in nanomaterials and high-level students in physics, science and material engineering. It will serve as the ideal reference text for scientists working on carbon nanotubes, and will thoroughly expand the reader’s knowledge of the application of carbon nanotube technology to graphene-based materials and the technological potential thereof.
