Abstract

Because graphene is an atomically two-dimensional gapless semiconductor with nearly identical conduction and valence bands, graphene-based bilayers are attractive candidates for high-temperature electron-hole pair condensation. We present estimates which suggest that the Kosterlitz-Thouless temperatures of these two-dimensional counterflow superfluids can approach room temperature.
