Abstract

We report that a perpendicular magnetic field introduces an anomalous interaction correction, δσ\delta \sigma, to the static conductivity of doped graphene in the ballistic regime. The correction implies that the magnetoresistance, δρxx\delta \rho_{xx} scales inversely with temperature δρxx(T)1/T\delta \rho_{xx}(T) \propto 1/T in a parametrically large interval. When the disorder is scalar-like, the 1/T\propto 1/T behavior is the leading contribution in the crossover between diffusive regime exhibiting weak localization and quantum magnetooscillations. The behavior originates from the field-induced breaking of the chiral symmetry of Dirac electrons around a single valley. The result is specific for generic two-dimensional Dirac materials which deviate from the half-filling. We conclude by proposing magnetotransport experiments, which have the capacity to detect the nature of impurities and defects in high-mobility Dirac monolayers such as recently fabricated ballistic graphene samples.
