In this article, the authors calculate the conductivity as a function of the carrier density and propose an additional scattering mechanism involving midgap states, which leads to a similar $k$ dependence of the relaxation time as charged impurities.
Abstract
Using the semiclassical Boltzmann theory, we calculate the conductivity as a function of the carrier density. We include the scattering from charged impurities but conclude that the estimated impurity density is too low in order to explain the experimentally observed mobilities. We thus propose an additional scattering mechanism involving midgap states, which leads to a similar $k$ dependence of the relaxation time as charged impurities. The proposed scattering mechanism can account for the experimental findings such as the sublinear behavior of the conductivity versus gate voltage and the increase of the minimal conductivity for clean samples. We also discuss temperature dependent scattering due to acoustic phonons.

Approaching ballistic transport in suspended graphene.

TL;DR: This work shows that the fluctuations are significantly reduced in suspended graphene samples and reports low-temperature mobility approaching 200,000 cm2 V-1 s-1 for carrier densities below 5 x 109 cm-2, which cannot be attained in semiconductors or non-suspended graphene.

Intrinsic and extrinsic performance limits of graphene devices on SiO2.

TL;DR: It is shown that electron-acoustic phonon scattering is indeed independent of n, and contributes only 30 Omega to graphene's room-temperature resistivity, and its magnitude, temperature dependence and carrier-density dependence are consistent with extrinsic scattering by surface phonons at the SiO2 substrate.
