Konstantin Novoselov

Konstantin Novoselov is a Russian-British physicist who shared the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics with Andre Geim for experiments on graphene.

Andre Geim: Andre Geim is a Russian-born Dutch-British physicist who shared the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for graphene research. Geim was Novoselov’s doctoral supervisor and collaborator in the experiments recognized by the Nobel Prize.
Mechanical exfoliation: Mechanical exfoliation separates thin layers from a layered solid by applying and removing adhesive or another force. Repeated peeling of graphite produced isolated graphene flakes in the Manchester experiments.
Two-dimensional materials: Two-dimensional materials are crystalline solids whose thickness is limited to one or a few atomic layers. Graphene became the best-known example and helped establish this research area.
Science (journal): Science is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Novoselov and colleagues reported graphene’s electric-field effect in this journal in 2004.
Philip Kim: Philip Kim is an American physicist known for experimental research on graphene and other two-dimensional materials. His independent measurements helped establish graphene’s unusual electronic properties soon after its isolation.
Graphene: Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice. It was the material Novoselov and Geim isolated and studied.
Transition metal dichalcogenide: Transition metal dichalcogenides are layered compounds containing a transition metal and a chalcogen, often studied as thin crystals. The methods pioneered for graphene were extended to these semiconducting atomically thin materials.
Geim and Novoselov 2004 graphene paper: The 2004 paper by Andre Geim, Konstantin Novoselov, and colleagues reported an electric-field effect in atomically thin carbon films. It announced the experimental isolation and characterization of graphene.
Klaus von Klitzing: Klaus von Klitzing is a German physicist who discovered the quantum Hall effect and received the 1985 Nobel Prize in Physics. His quantum Hall work provided a framework for interpreting graphene’s anomalous Hall measurements.
Graphite: Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon made of stacked layers of hexagonally arranged atoms. Its weakly coupled layers made it possible to peel off individual graphene sheets.
