A one day workshop on “Quantum transport in graphene” is planned by and held at IPM, Tehran. This workshop is held in the memory of late Prof. Malek Zareyan and intended to provide advanced research information about the on-going activities in graphene physics. Graphene, the leading example of a two-dimensional crystalline material, is exceptionally conductive of electricity and heat even at one atom thickness which has engendered a great deal of interest. Interestingly, the horizon of the physics of graphene is becoming wider thanks to advances in experimental techniques. Therefore, we are now expanding our interests to not only transport but also optical and other properties for layered systems that include multilayers as well as monolayer graphene. In graphene, the physics of relativistic electrons is now experimentally accessible in solid-state devices, whose behavior differs drastically from that of similar devices fabricated with common semiconductors. Particularly, graphene has attracted an intense theoretical and experimental attention to study the effects of the relativistic-like dynamics of electrons on the different quantum transport phenomena, which are already known in ordinary conducting systems.
