Abstract

We theoretically calculate the phonon scattering limited electron mobility in extrinsic (i.e. gated or doped with a tunable and finite carrier density) 2D graphene layers as a function of temperature (T)(T) and carrier density (n)(n). We find a temperature dependent phonon-limited resistivity ρph(T)\rho_{ph}(T) to be linear in temperature for T\agt50KT\agt 50 K with the room temperature intrinsic mobility reaching values above 10510^5 cm2/Vs^2/Vs. We comment on the low-temperature Bloch-Gr\"{u}neisen behavior where ρph(T)T4\rho_{ph}(T) \sim T^4 for unscreened electron-phonon coupling.
