Impurity-assisted tunneling in graphene
The electric conductance of a strip of undoped graphene increases in the
presence of a disorder potential, which is smooth on atomic scales. The
phenomenon is attributed to impurity-assisted resonant tunneling of massless
Dirac fermions. Employing the transfer matrix approach we demonstrate the
resonant character of the conductivity enhancement in the presence of a single
impurity. We also calculate the two-terminal conductivity for the model with
one-dimensional fluctuations of disorder potential by a mapping onto a problem
of Anderson localization.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, final version, typos corrected, references adde
