We calculate the conductivity of graphene in three monolayer graphene double-layer structures taking into account the presence of correlations of charged impurities. We use the Boltzmann transport theory and continuum model for the structure factor S to study the electrical conductivity of monolayer graphene in presence of the second layer (bilayer graphene, monolayer graphene, or two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG)) due to the screened Coulomb scattering at T = 0 K for different values of correlation length , interlayer distance d and dielectric constant , and 2DEG material parameters. We find that for considered double-layer systems, the electrical conductivity increases with decreasing d for all values of and increases strongly (slightly) with increasing . We also show that increases slightly (considerably) with increasing for and the influence of correlations on is negligible for low impurity concentration of layer I ().
