It is shown that the which-layer pseudospin coherence enhances the subgap conductivity and facilitates the thermally activated transport. The mechanism proposed can also lead to the non-monotonic conductivity vs. temperature dependence at a band gap size of the order of 10 meV. The effect can be observed in gapped bilayer graphene sandwiched in boron nitride where the electron-hole puddles and flexural phonons are strongly suppressed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-05-25T14:19:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gapped bilayer graphene", "thermally activated conductivity", "which-layer pseudospin coherence enhances", "electron transport", "gated bilayer graphene" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2012, "month": "May", "volume": 98, "number": 4, "pages": 47007 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012EL.....9847007T" } } }
