The inherent asymmetry of the electric transport in graphene is attributed to Klein tunneling across barriers defined by $textit{pn}$-interfaces between positively and negatively charged regions. By combining conductance and shot noise experiments we determine the main characteristics of the tunneling barrier (height and slope) in a high-quality suspended sample with Au/Cr/Au contacts. We observe an asymmetric resistance $R_{textrm{odd}}=100-70$ $Omega$ across the Dirac point of the suspended graphene at carrier density $|n_{rm G}|=0.3-4 cdot 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$, while the Fano factor displays a non-monotonic asymmetry in the range $F_{textrm{odd}} sim 0.03 - 0.1$. Our findings agree with analytical calculations based on the Dirac equation with a trapezoidal barrier. Comparison between the model and the data yields the barrier height for tunneling, an estimate of the thickness of the $textit{pn}$-interface $d < 20$ nm, and the contact region doping corresponding to a Fermi level offset of $sim - 18$ meV. The strength of pinning of the Fermi level under the metallic contact is characterized in terms of the contact capacitance $C_c=19 times 10^{-6}$ F/cm$^2$. Additionally, we show that the gate voltage corresponding to the Dirac point is given by the work function difference between the backgate material and graphene.
Using electrical transport experiments and shot noise thermometry, we investigate electron-phonon heat transfer rate in a suspended bilayer graphene. Contrary to monolayer graphene with heat flow via three-body supercollision scattering, we find that regular electron - optical phonon scattering in bilayer graphene provides the dominant scattering process at electron energies $ gtrsim 0.15$ eV. We determine the strength of these intrinsic heat flow processes of bilayer graphene and find good agreement with theoretical estimates when both zone edge and zone center optical phonons are taken into account.
