Electron-electron interactions in doped graphene sheets

COFFEE_KLATCH  · Invited

Abstract

In this talk I will review some of the most important electronic properties of graphene. I will first discuss the appearance of plasmaron satellite bands in both angle-resolved photoemission [1] and STM spectra [2,3], emphasizing the important role of the sublattice pseudospin degree of freedom. I will then illustrate some unusual features, which appear only beyond the widely used Random Phase Approximation, characterizing plasmons and Drude weight of the electron gas in this material~[4].\\[4pt] [1] A.
