Abstract

We study Coulomb drag in double-layer graphene near the Dirac point. A particular emphasis is put on the case of clean graphene, with transport properties dominated by the electron-electron interaction. Using the quantum kinetic equation framework, we show that the drag becomes TT-independent in the clean limit, TτT\tau \to \infty, where TT is temperature and 1/τ1/\tau impurity scattering rate. For stronger disorder (or lower temperature), Tτ1/α2T\tau \ll 1/\alpha^2, where α\alpha is the interaction strength, the kinetic equation agrees with the leading-order (α2\alpha^2) perturbative result. At still lower temperatures, Tτ1T\tau \ll 1 (diffusive regime) this contribution gets suppressed, while the next-order (α3\alpha^3) contribution becomes important; it yields a peak centered at the Dirac point with a magnitude that grows with lowering TτT\tau.
