Doped graphene sheets are pseudochiral two-dimensional Fermi liquids with abnormal electron-electron interaction physics. We address graphene's Fermi liquid properties quantitatively using a microscopic random-phase-approximation theory and comment on the importance of using exchange-correlation potentials based on the properties of a chiral two-dimensional electron gas in density-functional-theory applications to graphene nanostructures.
In this work we investigate the effects of a Fermi velocity modulation in a valley filter in graphene created by a combination of a magnetic and electric barrier. With the effective Dirac equation of the system, we use the transfer matrix formalism to obtain the transmittance. We verify that the valley transport in graphene is very sensitive to a Fermi velocity modulation, which is able to choose which valley will be filtered with perfect filtering. Also, it is possible to use a Fermi velocity modulation to filter both valleys or to make the valley filter transparent. It reveals that the Fermi…

Two distinct methods to evaluate graphene relaxation time and mobility in Boltzmann diffusive transport, considering ionized impurity scattering and Thomas-Fermi screening
Monolayer graphene and bilayer graphene have strikingly different properties. One such difference is the shape of the Fermi surface. Although anisotropic band structures can be detected in optical measurements, they have so far been difficult to detect in transport experiments on twodimensional materials. Here we describe a ballistic transport experiment using high-quality graphene that revealed Fermi surface anisotropy in the magnetoresistance. The shape of the Fermi surface is closely related with the cyclotron orbit in real space. Electron trajectories in samples with triangular lattices of…

石墨烯和拓扑绝缘体(TI)具有不同物理性质的二维狄拉克费米子。将这两种狄拉克材料集成在一个设备中,为探索相互作用的无质量狄拉克费米子的新物理学创造了有趣的机会。在这里,我们报告了一个实际的路线,实验制造的石墨烯Sb 2 Te 3异质结构。石墨烯-TI异质结构通过使用化学气相沉积生长的石墨烯膜的干法转移来制备。ARPES测量证实了石墨烯的Sb 2 Te 3和Dirac π带的拓扑表面态的共存,并确定了石墨烯-TI异质结构中的扭曲角。结果表明,一个潜在的可调电子平台,其中两个不同的狄拉克低能态主导的输运行为。
We report on an unconventional mechanism of electron scattering in graphene in hybrid Bose- Fermi systems. We study energy-dependent electron relaxation time, accounting for the processes of emission and absorption of a Bogoliubov excitation (a bogolon). Then using the Bloch-Gruneisen approach, we find the finite-temperature resistivity of graphene and show that its principal behavior is $\sim T^4$ in the limit of low temperatures and linear at high temperatures. We show that bogolon-mediated scattering can surpass the acoustic phonon-assisted relaxation. It can be controlled by the distance b…
In spin-polarized itinerant electron systems, collective spin-wave modes arise from dynamical exchange and correlation (xc) effects. We here consider spin waves in doped paramagnetic graphene with adjustable Zeeman-type band splitting. The spin waves are described using time-dependent spin-density-functional response theory, treating dynamical xc effects within the Slater and Singwi-Tosi-Land-Sjolander approximations. We obtain spin-wave dispersions and spin stiffnesses as a function of doping and spin polarization, and discuss prospects for their experimental observation.
We present the theory of many-body corrections to cyclotron transition energies in graphene in strong magnetic field due to Coulomb interaction, considered in terms of the renormalized Fermi velocity. A particular emphasis is made on the recent experiments where detailed dependencies of this velocity on the Landau level filling factor for individual transitions were measured. Taking into account the many-body exchange, excitonic corrections and interaction screening in the static random-phase approximation, we successfully explained the main features of the experimental data, in particular tha…
Ab initio calculation of the $G$ peak intensity of graphene: Combined study of the laser and Fermi energy dependence and importance of quantum interference effects
In this work we investigate theoretically the influence of a Fermi velocity modulation in the electronic and transport properties of magnetic graphene superlattices. We solve the effective Dirac equation for graphene with a position dependent vector potential and Fermi velocity and use the transfer matrix method to obtain the transmission coefficient for the finite cases and the dispersion relation for a periodic superlattice. Our results reveals that the Fermi velocity modulation can control the resonance peaks of the transmittance and also works as a switch, turning on/off the transmission t…

Electric Properties of Dirac Fermions Captured into 3D Nanoporous Graphene Networks
石墨烯作为后硅时代的电子材料,为新的电子性质和器件应用开辟了新的范例。另一方面,石墨烯的2D特性使其在技术上具有挑战性,难以集成到具有足够处理器容量的3D晶体管中。虽然有许多尝试将2D石墨烯组装成3D结构,但无质量狄拉克费米子的特性不能很好地保留在这些材料中用于晶体管应用。在这里,我们报告了一种高性能的石墨烯晶体管,利用三维纳米多孔石墨烯,这是由一个互连的单一石墨烯片和一个宽敞的开放孔隙注入离子液体的可调电子状态,通过施加电场。具有5000-7500 cm $^2$ V $^{-1}$ s $^{-1}$的高载流子迁移率的3D纳米多孔石墨烯晶体管表现出比2D石墨烯器件高两到三个数量级的电导和电容,以及狄拉克锥的保留的双极电子性质。此外,具有狄拉克费米子的3D石墨烯网络在很宽的栅极电压范围内表现出独特的非线性霍尔电阻。高质量的3D纳米多孔石墨烯EDLT可能为在各种基础和实际应用中利用3D网络结构中的狄拉克费米子开辟新的领域。
