Shot noise in Graphene with long range Coulomb interaction and the local Fermi distribution

Abstract

We calculate the shot noise power in ballistic graphene using the kinetic equation approach based on the Keldysh technique. We find that the local energy distribution function obeys Poisson's equation, indicating a mapping into a diffusive metal system. We derive the conductance and noise including the long range Coulomb interaction to first order. We find that the shot noise increases due to interaction, leading to a frequency dependence. Furthermore, we find that the Fano factor at degeneracy is 1/3, the same as without the Coulomb interaction.
