We demonstrate that the conductance variance $<[\\delta G]^2>$ is very sensitive to the elastic scattering breaking the valley symmetry. In the absence of such scattering (disorder potential smooth at atomic scales, trigonal warping negligible), the variance $<[\\delta G]^2 > = 4 < [\\delta G]^2 >_\\text{metal}$ is four times greater than that in conventional metals, which is due to the two-fold valley degeneracy. In the absence of intervalley scattering, but for strong intravalley scattering and/or strong warping $<[\\delta G]^2 > =2 < [\\delta G]^2 >_\\text{metal}$. Only in the limit of strong intervalley scattering $<[\\delta G]^2 > = < [\\delta G]^2 >_\\text{metal}$. Our theory explains recent numerical results and can be used for comparison with existing experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-01-01T15:59:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.-b", "72.15.Rn", "81.05.Uw" ], "keywords": [ "mesoscopic conductance fluctuations", "graphene samples", "two-fold valley degeneracy", "disorder potential smooth", "atomic scales" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2008, "month": "Jul", "volume": 78, "number": 3, "pages": "033404" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvB..78c3404K" } } }
