3 No long range order in 2-Dimensions David Mermin Herbert Wagner.. long-range fluctuations can be created with little energy cost and since they increase the entropy they are favored. continuous symmetries cannot be spontaneously broken at finite temperature in systems with sufficiently short-range interactions in dimensions D 2. No long range order in 2D No Magnets.No superfluids No superconductors... No 2D crystals

43 Graphene Relatives Many natural materials have Dirac cones in their bandstructure (e.g. hightc compnds). But the Fermi surface of these materials contains many states that are not on a Dirac cone. As a result the electronic properties are controlled by the normal electrons and the Dirac electrons are invisible. Graphene is the ONLY naturally occurring material where the Fermi surface consists of Dirac points alone. As a result all its electronic properties are controlled by the Dirac electrons.
