▎ 摘  要

The conductance of ballistic graphene at the neutrality point is due to coherent electron tunneling between the leads, the so called pseudodiffusive regime. The conductance scales as a function of the sample dimensions in the same way as in a diffusive metal, despite the difference in the physical mechanisms involved. The electron-electron interaction modifies this regime, and plays a role similar to that of the environment in macroscopic quantum phenomena. We show that interactions can change substantially the transport properties. In the presence of nearby metallic layers, the conductance near the neutrality point can decrease with decreasing temperature, and reach values well below the quantum unit of conductance, as in an insulator.
