42. while earlier estimates, derived from graphite resistivity data, give values in the upper range [H. Suzuura and T. Ando, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.65.235412 65, 235412 (2002)];
43. A possible reason for the difference is Hartree screening, which is taken into account in the first case. Fits to the temperature dependence of the resistivity in suspended graphene, which is strongly influenced by flexural phonons, are in good agreement with this interpretation [E. Castro, H. Ochoa, M. I. Katsnelson, R. V. Gorbachev, D. C. Elias, K. S. Novoselov, A. K. Geim, and F. Guinea, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.266601 105, 266601 (2010)].
44. The 40 nm × 40 nm sample with periodic boundary conditions has been constructed by juxtaposing the original sample with three samples obtained from the original one by reflection through a horizontal axis, by reflection through a vertical axis, and by spatial inversion, respectively.
