* ABSTRACT

Electron in graphene, a monolayer of graphite with honeycomb lattice
structure, behaves like relativistic particle. This invites attention
to the issue of zitterbewegung, meaning trembling motion which refers
to interference of positive and negative energy states, for its
observable manifestation and the physics associated with. Recently, it
was pointed by me of similarity between the current associated with
the zitterbewegung of electron and the axial current non- conservation
which is known as Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly. Then its effect on
transport properties is studied through current-current correlation
leading to Kubo conductivity formula.
