Scaling properties of mono-layer graphene away from the Dirac point
Abstract
The statistical properties of the carrier density profile of graphene in the ground state in the presence particle-particle interaction and random charged impurity in zero gate voltage has been recently obtained by Najafi \textit{et al.} (Phys. Rev E95, 032112 (2017)). The non-zero chemical potential () in gated graphene has non-trivial effects on electron-hole puddles, since it generates mass in the Dirac action and destroys the scaling behaviors of the effective Thomas-Fermi-Dirac theory. We provide detailed analysis on the resulting spatially inhomogeneous system in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac theory for the Gaussian (white noise) disorder potential. We show that, the chemical potential in this system as a random surface, destroys the self-similarity, and the charge field is non-Gaussian. We find that the two-body correlation functions are factorized to two terms: a pure function of the chemical potential and a pure function of the distance. The spatial dependence of these correlation functions is double-logarithmic, e.g. the two-point density correlation (, and ). The Fourier power spectrum function behaves like ( and ) in contrast to the ordinary Gaussian rough surfaces for which and , ( being the roughness exponent). The geometrical properties are however similar to the un-gated () case, with the exponents that are reported in the text.
