Transport in bilayer and multilayer graphene

Using the semiclassical quantum Boltzmann equation (QBE), we
numerically calculate the DC transport properties of bilayer graphene
near charge neutrality [1]. We find, in contrast to prior discussions,
that phonon scattering is crucial even at temperatures below
40K. Nonetheless, electron-electron scattering still dominates over
phonon collisions allowing a hydrodynamic approach [2]. We introduce a
simple two-fluid hydrodynamic model of electrons and holes interacting
via Coulomb drag and compare our results to the full QBE
calculation. We show that the two-fluid model produces quantitatively
accurate results for conductivity, thermopower, and thermal
conductivity. Comparison is made to recent experiments [3], and
extensions of the theory are made for multilayer graphene [4].
