We investigate polyethylene imine and diazonium salts as stable, complementary dopants on graphene. Transport in graphene devices doped with these molecules exhibits asymmetry in electron and hole conductance. The conductance of one carrier is preserved, while the conductance of the other carrier decreases. Simulations based on nonequilibrium Greens function formalism suggest that the origin of this asymmetry is imbalanced carrier injection from the graphene electrodes caused by misalignment of the electrode and channel neutrality points.

Electron-hole asymmetry is a fundamental property in solids that can determine the nature of quantum phase transitions and the regime of operation for devices. The observation of electron-hole asymmetry in graphene and recently in the phase diagram of bilayer graphene has spurred interest into whether it stems from disorder or from fundamental interactions such as correlations. Here, we report an effective new way to access electron-hole asymmetry in 2D materials by directly measuring the quasiparticle self-energy in graphene/Boron Nitride field effect devices. As the chemical potential moves from the hole to the electron doped side, we see an increased strength of electronic correlations manifested by an increase in the band velocity and inverse quasiparticle lifetime. These results suggest that electronic correlations play an intrinsic role in driving electron hole asymmetry in graphene and provide a new insight for asymmetries in more strongly correlated materials.
By using the real-space Green-Kubo formalism we study numerically the electron transport properties of low-fluorinated graphene. At low temperatures the diffuse transport regime is expected to be prevalent, and we found a pronounced electron-hole asymmetry in electrical conductivity as a result of quasi-resonant scattering on the localized states. For the finite temperatures in the variable-range hopping transport regime the interpretation of numerical results leads to the appearance of local minima and maxima of the resistance near the energies of the localized states. A comparison with the experimental measurements of the resistance in graphene samples with various fluorination degrees is discussed.
Graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/$h$-BN) heterostructures offer an excellent platform for developing nanoelectronic devices and for exploring correlated states in graphene under modulation by a periodic superlattice potential. Here, we report on transport measurements of nearly $0^{circ}$-twisted G/$h$-BN heterostructures. The heterostructures investigated are prepared by dry transfer and thermally annealing processes and are in the low mobility regime (approximately $3000~mathrm{cm}^{2}mathrm{V}^{-1}mathrm{s}^{-1}$ at 1.9 K). The replica Dirac spectra and Hofstadter butterfly spectra are observed on the hole transport side, but not on the electron transport side, of the heterostructures. We associate the observed electron-hole asymmetry to the presences of a large difference between the opened gaps in the conduction and valence bands and a strong enhancement in the interband contribution to the conductivity on the electron transport side in the low-mobility G/$h$-BN heterostructures. We also show that the gaps opened at the central Dirac point and the hole-branch secondary Dirac point are large, suggesting the presence of strong graphene-substrate interaction and electron-electron interaction in our G/$h$-BN heterostructures. Our results provide additional helpful insight into the transport mechanism in G/$h$-BN heterostructures.
The superconducting pairing of electrons in doped graphene due to in-plane and out-of-plane phonons is considered. It is shown that the structure of the order parameter in the valley space substantially affects conditions of the pairing. Electron-hole pairing in graphene bilayer in the strong coupling regime is also considered. Taking into account retardation of the screened Coulomb pairing potential shows a significant competition between the electron-hole direct attraction and their repulsion due to virtual plasmons and single-particle excitations.
Inter-Landau-level transitions in the bilayer graphene at high perpendicular magnetic field at the filling-factor v<<1 have been studied. The next-nearest-neighbor transitions, energy difference between dimer and non-dimer sites and layer asymmetry are included. The influence of Coulomb interaction is taken into account. The magnetoplasmon excitations in bilayer graphene at small momenta are considered in the frame of the Hartree-Fock approximation. It is shown that asymmetry in cyclotron resonance of clean bilayer graphene depends on magnetic field. At lower magnetic fields the energy splitting in the spectrum is due to electron-hole one-particle asymmetry, at higher magnetic fields the energy splitting in the spectrum is due to Coulomb interaction. For the fullsymmetric case with half-filled zero-energy levels the energy splitting proportional to the energy of Coulomb interaction is found both for bilayer and monolayer graphene.
