7. T. Ando, T. Nakanishi, and R. Saito, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 67, 2857 (1998) that the Berry phase, π, that is accumulated around the Dirac cone in the momentum space leads to the absence of back scattering from the random scalar potential. We believe that this effect is related to the topological term 9. JUPSAU 0031-9015 10.1143/JPSJ.67.2857
