Structural short - range order and electronic properties of graphene at low temperatures

Abstract

A theoretical study of the DOS, resistivity and thermal conductivity of a metallized epitaxial graphene with impurities and structural inhomogeneous of the short-range order type is performed. The conditions for the appearance and disappearance of a gap in DOS are obtained for the case where the location of defects changes. A temperature dependence of relaxation time, DOS, resistivity and thermal conductivity is described only in the presence of the structures forming large-area cells in the graphene layer.
