Abstract

We investigate the basic charge and heat transport properties of charge neutral epigraphene at sub-kelvin temperatures, demonstrating nearly logarithmic dependence of electrical conductivity over more than two decades in temperature. Using graphene's sheet conductance as in-situ thermometer, we present a measurement of electron-phonon heat transport at mK temperatures and show that it obeys the T4T^4 dependence characteristic for clean two-dimensional conductor. Based on our measurement we predict the noise-equivalent power of 1022 W/Hz\sim 10^{-22}~{\rm W}/\sqrt{{\rm Hz}} of epigraphene bolometer at the low end of achievable temperatures.
