Massless Dirac fermions carrying charges on graphene are scattered by the vector potentials and magnetoresistance is induced proportional to the square of amplitude of in-plane magnetic field $B_{\\parallel}^2$. Recently, Lundeberg and Folk proposed a formula showing dependence of the magnetoresistance on carrier density, in which the coefficient of $B_{\\parallel}^2$ is given by a functional of the height-correlation function $c(r)$ of ripples. In the present paper, we give exact and explicit expressions of the coefficient for the two cases such that $c(r)$ is (i) exponential and (ii) Gaussian. The results are given using well-known special functions. Numerical fitting of our solutions to experimental data were performed. It is shown that the experimental data are well-described by the formula for the Gaussian height-correlation of ripples in the whole region of carrier density. The standard deviation $Z$ of ripple height and the correlation length $R$ of ripples are evaluated, which can be compared with direct experimental measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-12-02T09:45:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rippled graphene", "lundeberg-folk formula", "height correlation", "magnetoresistance", "in-plane magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.2046G" } } }
