We investigate the thermodynamic properties and the lattice stability of two-dimensional crystalline membranes, such as graphene and related compounds, in the low temperature quantum regime $T\rightarrow0$. A key role is played by the anharmonic coupling between in-plane and out-of plane lattice modes that, in the quantum limit, has very different consequences than in the classical regime. The role of retardation, namely of the frequency dependence, in the effective anharmonic interactions turns out to be crucial in the quantum regime. We identify a crossover temperature, $T^{*}$, between classical and quantum regimes, which is $\sim 70 - 90$ K for graphene. Below $T^{*}$, the heat capacity and thermal expansion coefficient decrease as power laws with decreasing temperature, tending to zero for $T\rightarrow0$ as required by the third law of thermodynamics.

在这篇文章中,我们回复了E.I.Kats和V.V.Lebedev [arXiv:1407.4298]对我们最近的工作“量子结晶膜的热力学”[Phys. Rev. B 89,224307(2014)]的评论。Kats和Lebedev质疑我们工作中提出的计算的有效性,特别是使用德拜动量作为理论的紫外调节器。我们处理和反驳Kats和Lebedev对我们工作的批评。
