Energy loss of charged particles in a two-dimensional Dirac plasma

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2008-08-26 v1

Abstract

The stopping power and energy loss rate of charged particles traversing a two-dimensional Dirac plasma is investigated. The Dirac plasma considered here models a solid state system, recently realized graphene monolayer, where the conduction electrons obey the Dirac-like equation and exhibit a linear in momentum dispersion relation. Theoretical work presented here is based on the the dielectric response function and the dynamical structure function within the Random-Phase-Approximation (RPA).
