Correlated phenomena in graphene at high and low carrier density

Abstract

This dissertation studies electronic transport in graphene at high and low carrier density. At very high carrier densities, the band structure of graphene features a Van Hove singularity. Magnetotransport measurements suggest that below 110K, a pseudogap opens in graphene, combined with a Lifshitz transition. At low carrier density, it is possible to treat the electron liquid in graphene by electron hydrodynamics. A graphene Tesla valve is presented, a device that works as an electron viscometer.
