We consider electron transport in a planar fermion model containing various types of line defects modelled by $delta$--function pseudopotentials with different matrix coefficients. The transmission probability for electron transport through the defect line is obtained for various types of pseudopotentials. For the schematic model considered that may describe a graphene structure with different types of linear defects, the valley polarization is obtained.

We demonstrate the interaction between surface acoustic waves and Dirac electrons in monolayer graphene at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. A metallic interdigitated transducer launches surface waves that propagate through a conventional pi ezoelectric GaAs substrate and couple to large-scale monolayer CVD graphene films resting on its surface. Based on the induced acousto-electric current, we characterize the frequency domains of the transducer from its first to the third harmonic. We find an oscillatory attenuation of the SAW velocity depending on the conductivity of the graphene layer. The acousto-electric current reveals additional fine structure that is absent in pure magnetotransport. In addition we find a shift between the acousto-electric longitudinal voltage and the velocity change of the SAW. We attribute this shift to the periodic strain field from the propagating SAW that slightly modifies the Dirac cone.
In this paper, we study the quantum properties of a bilayer graphene with (asymmetry) line defects. The localized states are found around the line defects. Thus, the line defects on one certain layer of the bilayer graphene can lead to an electric tr ansport channel. By adding a bias potential along the direction of the line defects, we calculate the electric conductivity of bilayer graphene with line defects using Landauer-B{u}ttiker theory, and show that the channel affects the electric conductivity remarkably by comparing the results with those in a perfect bilayer graphene. This one-dimensional line electric channel has the potential to be applied in the nanotechnology engineering.
The relativistic nature of Dirac electrons and holes in graphene profoundly affects the way they interact with impurities. Signatures of the relativistic behavior have been observed recently in scanning tunneling measurements on individual impurities , but the conductance measurements in this regime are typically dominated by electron and hole puddles. Here we present measurements of quantum interference noise and magnetoresistance in graphene pn junctions. Unlike the conductance, the quantum interference noise can provide access to the scattering at the Dirac point:it is sensitive to the motion of a single impurity, it depends strongly on the fundamental symmetries that describe the system and it is determined by the phase-coherent phenomena which are not necessarily obscured by the puddles. The temperature and the carrier density dependence of resistance fluctuations and magnetoresistance in graphene p-n junctions at low temperatures suggest that the noise is dominated by the quantum interference due to scattering on impurities and that the noise minimum could be used to determine the point where the average carrier density is zero. At larger carrier densities, the amplitude of the noise depends strongly on the sign of the impurity charge, reflecting the fact that the electrons and the holes are scattered by the impurity potential in an asymmetric manner.

We have investigated a new feature of impurity cyclotron resonances common to various localized potentials of graphene. A localized potential can interact with a magnetic field in an unexpected way in graphene. It can lead to formation of anomalous b oundstates that have a sharp peak with a width $R$ in the probability density inside the potential and a broad peak of size magnetic length $ell$ outside the potential. We investigate optical matrix elements of anomalous states, and find that they are unusually small and depend sensitively on magnetic field. The effect of many-body interactions on their optical conductivity is investigated using a self-consistent time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach (TDHFA). For a completely filled Landau level we find that an excited electron-hole pair, originating from the optical transition between two anomalous impurity states, is nearly uncorrelated with other electron-hole pairs, although it displays a substantial exchange self-energy effects. This absence of correlation is a consequence of a small vertex correction in comparison to the difference between renormalized transition energies computed within the one electron-hole pair approximation. However, an excited electron-hole pair originating from the optical transition between a normal and an anomalous impurity states can be substantially correlated with other electron-hole states with a significant optical strength.
The proposals for realizing exotic particles through coupling of quantum Hall effect to superconductivity involve spatially non-uniform magnetic fields. As a step toward that goal, we study, both theoretically and experimentally, a system of Dirac el ectrons exposed to an Abrikosov flux lattice. We theoretically find that non-uniform magnetic field causes a carrier-density dependent reduction of the Hall conductivity. Our studies show that this reduction originates from a rather subtle effect: a levitation of the Berry curvature within Landau levels broadened by the non-uniform magnetic field. Experimentally, we measure the magneto-transport in a monolayer graphene-hexagonal boron nitride - niobium diselenide (NbSe$_2$) heterostructure, and find a density-dependent reduction of the Hall resistivity of graphene as the temperature is lowered from above the superconducting critical temperature of NbSe$_2$, when the magnetic field is uniform, to below, where the magnetic field bunches into an Abrikosov flux lattice.
