New Matter Properties and Applications based on Hybrid Graphene-based Metamaterials

Abstract

Graphene as an organic material has gained special attention due to their electronic and conductive properties. Moreover, its highly conjugated chemical structures and relative easy modification have allowed varied design and control of targeted properties and applications. In addition, this nanomaterial, accompanied by pseudo electromagnetic fields, enabled photonics, electronics, and quantum interactions with their surroundings, generating new material properties. Hence, this short review aims at discussing many of studies related with new materials based on graphene for light and electronic interactions, conductions, and new modes of non-classical light generation. It should be noted that these new materials and metamaterials are in progress. For this reason, some representative examples have been discussed from fundamental research with potential applications and incorporation into real advanced devices and miniaturized instrumentation. Accordingly, we proposed this special issue entitled "Design and synthesis of hybrids graphene-based metamaterials", in order to provide insights into the state of the art in this multidisciplinary field.
