Abstract

We study the effect of electron interaction on the spin-splitting and the gg-factor in graphene in perpendicular magnetic field using the Hartree and Hubbard approximations within the Thomas-Fermi model. We found that the gg-factor is enhanced in comparison to its free electron value g=2g=2 and oscillates as a function of the filling factor ν\nu in the range 2g42\leq g^{\ast}\lesssim 4 reaching maxima at even ν\nu and minima at odd ν\nu . We outline the role of charged impurities in the substrate, which are shown to suppress the oscillations of the gg^{\ast}-factor. This effect becomes especially pronounced with the increase of the impurity concentration, when the effective gg-factor becomes independent of the filling factor reaching a value of g2.3g^{\ast}\approx 2.3. A relation to the recent experiment is discussed.
