We show that at zero gate voltage such disorder creates two-dimensional concentration $n_0 \\sim N^{2/3}$ of electrons and holes in graphene. Electrons and holes reside in alternating in space puddles of the size $R_0 \\sim N^{-1/3}$. A typical puddle has only one or two carriers in agreement with recent scanning single electron transistor experiment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-10-29T15:46:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81.05.Uw", "73.21.Ac" ], "keywords": [ "simple model", "coulomb disorder", "disorder creates two-dimensional concentration", "scanning single electron transistor experiment", "silicon oxide substrate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2007, "month": "Dec", "volume": 76, "number": 23, "pages": 233411 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007PhRvB..76w3411S" } } }
