Operando Spectromicroscopy Observation of Many-Body Effects in Graphene Device

Many-body exchange-correlation effects in graphene

We calculate, within the leading-order dynamical-screening approximation, the electron self-energy and spectral function at zero temperature for extrinsic (or gated/doped) graphene. We also calculate hot carrier inelastic scattering due to electron–electron interactions in graphene. We obtain the inelastic quasiparticle lifetimes and associated mean free paths from the calculated self-energy. T...

Observation of carrier-density-dependent many-body effects in graphene via tunneling spectroscopy.

We find the scanning tunneling spectra of backgated graphene monolayers to be significantly altered by many-body excitations. Experimental features in the spectra arising from electron-plasmon interactions show carrier density dependence, distinguishing them from density-independent electron-phonon features. Using a straightforward model, we are able to calculate theoretical tunneling spectra t...

Quantifying redox-induced Schottky barrier variations in memristive devices via in operando spectromicroscopy with graphene electrodes

The continuing revolutionary success of mobile computing and smart devices calls for the development of novel, cost- and energy-efficient memories. Resistive switching is attractive because of, inter alia, increased switching speed and device density. On electrical stimulus, complex nanoscale redox processes are suspected to induce a resistance change in memristive devices. Quantitative informa...

Many-body effects in Auger electron emission from Graphene

Band structure and many body effects in graphene

We have determined the electronic bandstructure of clean and potassium-doped single layer graphene, and fitted the graphene π bands to a oneand three-near-neighbor tight binding model. We characterized the quasiparticle dynamics using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The dynamics reflect the interaction between holes and collective excitations, namely plasmons, phonons, and electron-h...
