Weak localization as a probe of intervalley coherence in graphene multilayers

Spontaneous intervalley coherence is suspected in several different graphene multilayer systems, but is difficult to confirm because of a paucity of convenient experimental signatures. Here, we suggest that magnetoconductance features associated with quantum corrections to Drude conductivity can serve as a smoking gun for intervalley coherence that does not break time-reversal symmetry. In this class of ordered multilayers quantum transport corrections can produce weak localization or weak antilocalization, depending on whether the valley order belongs to the orthogonal or symplectic symmetry class. Our analysis motivates low-temperature weak-field magnetoresistance measurements in graphene multilayers in which time-reversal invariant intervalley coherent order is conjectured.
