Weak localization in monolayer and bilayer graphene
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the weak localization correction to conductivity in ultrathin graphene films, taking into account disorder scattering and the influence of trigonal warping of the Fermi surface. A possible manifestation of the chiral nature of electrons in the localization properties is hampered by trigonal warping, resulting in a suppression of the weak anti-localization effect in monolayer graphene and of weak localization in bilayer graphene. Intervalley scattering due to atomically sharp scatterers in a realistic graphene sheet or by edges in a narrow wire tends to restore weak localization resulting in negative magnetoresistance in both materials.

Weak localization in monolayer and bilayer graphene.
We demonstrate quantitative experimental evidence for a weak localization correction to the conductivity in monolayer and bilayer graphene systems. We show how inter- and intra-valley elastic scattering control the correction in small magnetic fields in a way which is unique to graphene. A clear difference in the forms of the correction is observed in the two systems, which shows the importance...
متن کاملInfluence of Trigonal Warping on Interference Effects in Bilayer Graphene
Bilayer graphene (two coupled graphitic monolayers arranged according to Bernal stacking) is a twodimensional gapless semiconductor with a peculiar electronic spectrum different from the Dirac spectrum in the monolayer material. In particular, the electronic Fermi line in each of its valleys has a strong p ! p asymmetry due to trigonal warping, which suppresses the weak localization effect. We ...
متن کاملEnhanced weak localization effect in few-layer graphene.
We have investigated the weak localization correction to magnetoresistance in one to six layer graphene structures. The magnetoresistance measurements have revealed that, in addition to the known transition from weak anti-localization in monolayer graphene to weak localization in bilayer graphene, the weak localization effect becomes more pronounced as the number of graphene layers increases. T...
متن کاملWeak localization in bilayer graphene.
We have performed the first experimental investigation of quantum interference corrections to the conductivity of a bilayer graphene structure. A negative magnetoresistance--a signature of weak localization--is observed at different carrier densities, including the electroneutrality region. It is very different, however, from the weak localization in conventional two-dimensional systems. We sho...
