▎ 摘  要

The effect of the Coulomb scattering on graphene conductivity in field-effect transistor structures is discussed. Interparticle scattering (electron-electron, hole-hole, and electron-hole) and scattering on charged defects are taken into account in a wide ran-e of gate voltages. It is shown that an intrinsic conductivity of graphene (purely ambipolar system, where both electron and hole densities exactly coincide) is defined by a strong electron-hole scattering. It has a universal value independent of the temperature. We give an explicit derivation based on the scaling theory. When there is even a small discrepancy in the electron and hole densities caused by the applied oate voltage, the conductivity is determined by both a strong, electron-hole scattering and a weak external scattering: on the defects or phonons. We suggest that the density of the charged defects (occupancy of defects) depends on the Fermi energy to explain the sublinear dependence of conductivity on a fairly high gate voltage observed in the experiments. We also eliminate the contradictions between the experimental data obtained in the deposited and suspended graphene structures regarding the graphene conductivity.
