▎ 摘  要

The effect of weak potential and bond disorder on the density of states of graphene is studied. By comparing the self-consistent noncrossing approximation on the honeycomb lattice with perturbation theory on the Dirac fermions, we conclude that the linear density of states of pure graphene changes to a nonuniversal power law whose exponent depends on the strength of disorder like 1-4g/root 3 pi t(2), with g the variance of the Gaussian disorder and t the hopping integral. This can result in a significant suppression of the exponent of the density of states in the weak-disorder limit. We argue that even a nonlinear density of states can result in a conductivity that is proportional to the number of charge carriers, in accordance with experimental findings.
