Temperature-Dependent Transport in Suspended Graphene

The resistivity of ultraclean suspended graphene is strongly temperature ($T$) dependent for $5<T<240\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$. At $T\ensuremath{\sim}5\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$ transport is near-ballistic in a device of $\ensuremath{\sim}2\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ dimension and a mobility $\ensuremath{\sim}170\text{ }000\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}/\mathrm{V}\text{ }\mathrm{s}$. At large carrier density, $n>0.5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{11}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$, the resistivity increases with increasing $T$ and is linear above 50 K, suggesting carrier scattering from acoustic phonons. At $T=240\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$ the mobility…
