The decisive role of stacking faults for understanding transport in bilayer graphene — •Heiko B.

Charge transport in bilayer graphene provides rich low-temperature phenomena, often assigned to interaction-driven phase transitions. We will discuss charge transport in bilayer graphene in a single-particle picture, but including stacking faults. Such partial dislocations are unavoidable in bilayer graphene and were recently imaged [1]. Depending on details, partial dislocations can introduce improved conductance, fully insulating behaviour or linear magnetoresistance. The latter is reliably found in transport experiments at elevated temperatures [2].
