摘要
Resonant scattering of electrons with low energies (as compared to the bandwidth) on a single neutral short-range impurity in graphene is analyzed theoretically, taking into account the valley degeneracy. Resonances dramatically increase the scattering cross section and introduce a strong energy dependence. Analysis of the tight-binding model shows that resonant scattering is typical for generic impurities as long as they are sufficiently strong (the potential is of the order of the electron bandwidth or higher).
