Interplay of Coulomb interactions and rippling of monolayer graphene: RG approach
ORAL
Abstract
The effects of electron-electron Coulomb interactions and rippling disorder of a mono-layer graphene are studied at half-filling using renormalization group. It is found that the system flows to an infra-red stable line of fixed points which is accessible perturbatively and along which the zero temperature minimal metallic conductivity is non-universal and enhanced relative to the clean non-interacting fixed point. An estimate of the typical random vector potential representing ripples in graphene brings the theoretical value of the minimal conductivity into the vicinity of $4e^2/h$.
