Abstract
Considering finite-temperature screened electron-impurity scattering, we present a kinetic equation approach to investigate transport properties of two-dimensional massive fermions in silicene. We find that the longitudinal conductivity is always nonvanishing when chemical potential lies within the energy gap. This residual conductivity arises from interband correlation and strongly depends on strength of electron-impurity scattering. We also clarify that the electron-impurity interaction makes substantial contributions to the spin- and valley-Hall conductivities, which, however, are almost independent of impurity density. The dependencies of longitudinal conductivity as well as of spin- and valley-Hall conductivities on chemical potential, on temperature, and on gap energy are analyzed.
