In the recent paper [arXiv:0802.2216, 15 Feb 2008], Kashuba argued that the intrinsic conductivity of graphene independent of temperature originated in strong electron-hole scattering. We propose a much more explicit derivation based on a scaling theory approach. We also give an explanation of a rapid increase in graphene conductivity caused by applied gate voltage.

The effect of Coulomb scattering on graphene conductivity in field effect transistor structures is discussed. Inter-particle scattering (electron-electron, hole-hole, and electron-hole) and scattering on charged defects are taken into account in a wi de range of gate voltages. It is shown that an intrinsic conductivity of graphene (purely ambipolar system where both electron and hole densities exactly coincide) is defined by strong electron-hole scattering. It has a universal value independent of temperature. We give an explicit derivation based on scaling theory. When there is even a small discrepancy in electron and hole densities caused by applied gate voltage the conductivity is determined by both strong electron-hole scattering and weak external scattering: on defects or phonons. We suggest that a density of charged defects (occupancy of defects) depends on Fermi energy to explain a sub-linear dependence of conductivity on a fairly high gate voltage observed in experiments. We also eliminate contradictions between experimental data obtained in deposited and suspended graphene structures regarding graphene conductivity.
Bilayer graphene (BLG) at the charge neutrality point (CNP) is strongly susceptible to electronic interactions, and expected to undergo a phase transition into a state with spontaneous broken symmetries. By systematically investigating a large number of singly- and doubly-gated bilayer graphene (BLG) devices, we show that an insulating state appears only in devices with high mobility and low extrinsic doping. This insulating state has an associated transition temperature Tc~5K and an energy gap of ~3 meV, thus strongly suggesting a gapped broken symmetry state that is destroyed by very weak disorder. The transition to the intrinsic broken symmetry state can be tuned by disorder, out-of-plane electric field, or carrier density.

With no free parameter (except the string scale $M_S$), dynamical flux compactification in Type IIB string theory determines both the cosmological constant (vacuum energy density) $Lambda$ and the Planck mass $M_P$ in terms of $M_S$, thus yielding th eir relation. Following elementary probability theory, we find that a good fraction of the meta-stable de Sitter vacua in the cosmic string theory landscape tend to have an exponentially small cosmological constant $Lambda$ compared to either the string scale $M_S$ or the Planck scale $M_P$, i.e., $Lambda ll M_S^4 ll M_P^4$. Here we illustrate the basic stringy ideas with a simple scalar field $phi^3$ (or $phi^4$) model coupled with fluxes to show how this may happen and how the usual radiative instability problem is bypassed (since there are no parameters to be fine-tuned). These low lying semi-classical de Sitter vacua tend to be accompanied by light scalar bosons/axions, so the Higgs boson mass hierarchy problem may be ameliorated as well.
The electron gas hosted in a two-dimensional solid-state matrix, such as a quantum well or a two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure, supports the propagation of plasma waves. Nonlinear interactions between plasma waves, due to charge conservat ion and current convection, generate a constant density gradient which can be detected as a dc potential signal at the boundaries of the system. This phenomenon is at the heart of a plasma-wave photodetection scheme which was first introduced by Dyakonov and Shur for electronic systems with a parabolic dispersion and then extended to the massless Dirac fermions in graphene. In this work, we develop the theory of plasma-wave photodetection in bilayer graphene, which has the peculiarity that the dispersion relation depends locally and dynamically on the intensity of the plasma wave. In our analysis, we show how quantum capacitance effects, arising from the local fluctuations of the electronic dispersion, modify the intensity of the photodetection signal. An external electrical bias, e.g. induced by top and bottom gates, can be used to control the strength of the quantum capacitance corrections, and thus the photoresponse.
We consider the theory of Kondo effect and Fano factor energy dependence for magnetic impurity (Co) on graphene. We have performed a first principles calculation and find that the two dimensional $E_1$ representation made of $d_{xz},d_{yz}$ orbitals is likely to be responsible for the hybridization and ultimately Kondo screening for cobalt on graphene. There are few high symmetry sites where magnetic impurity atom can be adsorbed. For the case of Co atom in the middle of hexagon of carbon lattice we find anomalously large Fano $q$-factor, $qapprox 80$ and strongly suppressed coupling to conduction band. This anomaly is a striking example of quantum mechanical interference related to the Berry phase inherent to graphene band structure.
