Coulomb interactions play an essential role in atomically-thin materials. On one hand, they are strong and long-ranged in layered systems due to the lack of environmental screening. On the other hand, they can be efficiently tuned by means…
It has been noticed that confinement effects can be described by the addition of a $ \sqrt {- F_{\mu \nu}^a F^{a\mu \nu}} $ term in the Lagrangian density. We now study the combined effect of such "confinement term" and that of a mass term.…
