Minimal conductivity in bilayer graphene

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Using the Landauer formula approach, it is proven that minimal conductivity of order of e2/he^{2}/h found experimentally in bilayer graphene is its intrinsic property. For the case of ideal crystals, the conductivity turns our to be equal to e2/2he^{2}/2h per valley per spin. A zero-temperature shot noise in bilayer graphene is considered and the Fano factor is calculated. Its value 12/π1-2/\pi is close to the value 1/3 found earlier for the single-layer graphene.
