abstract = "This chapter discusses the unique optical and electrical properties of graphene, bilayer graphene, and boron nitride. The tight binding electronic band structure of the π and π∗ bands is presented for both single layer graphene and bilayer graphene. This leads to a discussion of the low energy Dirac carriers present in Dirac cones in graphene. Ellipsometric characterization data for graphene is presented. The Dirac equation is used to show how the optical absorption for the zero mass, low energy carriers in the Dirac cones is directly related to the fine structure constant. The quantization of the Landau levels of the Dirac carriers in graphene is derived. The optical properties and Hall characterization of bilayer graphene and twisted bilayer graphene is discussed. The bands that result from the periodic potential of the moir{\'e} lattice due to the twisted alignment of the graphene layers are described. The electronic band structure of boron nitride is presented and heterolayers of graphene and boron nitride are discussed.",
