We study the energy of quasi-particles in graphene within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The quasi-particles are confined via an inhomogeneous magnetic field and interact via the Coulomb potential. We show that the associated functional…

We describe electrical transport in ideal single-layer graphene at zero applied bias. There is a crossover from collisionless transport at frequencies larger than k_B T/hbar (T is the temperature) to collision-dominated transport at lower…

We explore the problem of atomic collapse in graphene by monopole impurities, both electric and magnetic, within the context of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. For electric impurities, upon factorizing the radial Dirac Hamiltonian and…

We investigate magnetic and charge correlations in graphene by using the formulation of extended dynamical mean-field theory (E-DMFT) for two-sublattice systems. First, we map the average non-local interaction onto the effective static…

The observed 97.7% optical transparency of graphene has been linked to the value 1/137 of the fine structure constant, by using results for noninteracting Dirac fermions. The agreement in three significant figures requires an explanation…
