Screening, Kohn anomaly, Friedel oscillation, and RKKY interaction in bilayer graphene.

چکیده
We calculate the screening function in bilayer graphene (BLG) in both the intrinsic (undoped) and the extrinsic (doped) regimes within the random phase approximation, comparing our results with the corresponding single layer graphene and the regular two-dimensional electron gas. We find that the Kohn anomaly is strongly enhanced in BLG. We also discuss the Friedel oscillation and the RKKY interaction, which are associated with the nonanalytic behavior of the screening function at q=2k(F). We find that the Kohn anomaly, the Friedel oscillation, and the RKKY interaction are all qualitatively different in the BLG compared with the single layer graphene and the two-dimensional electron gas.

Observation of anomalous phonon softening in bilayer graphene.
The interaction of electron-hole pairs with lattice vibrations exhibits a wealth of intriguing physical phenomena such as the renowned Kohn anomaly. Here we report the observation in bilayer graphene of an unusual phonon softening that provides the first experimental proof for another type of phonon anomaly. Similar to the Kohn anomaly, which is a logarithmic singularity in the phonon group vel...
متن کاملFriedel Oscillation-Induced Energy Gap Manifested as Transport Asymmetry at Monolayer-Bilayer Graphene Boundaries
We show that Friedel charge oscillation near an interface opens a gap at the Fermi energy for electrons with wave vectors perpendicular to the interface. If the Friedel gaps on two sides of the interface are different, a nonequilibrium effect—shifting of these gaps under bias—leads to asymmetric transport upon reversing the bias polarity. The predicted transport asymmetry is revealed by scannin...
متن کاملTransport anomaly at the ordering transition for adatoms on graphene
Impurities in metals experience a long-range RudermanKittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction due to polarization of the electron Fermi sea (Friedel oscillations).1 For surface adsorbents such an interaction may result in their structural ordering, repeating the pattern of the Friedel oscillations of electron density.2 In particular, a dilute ensemble of adatoms on graphene may undergo a partial...
متن کاملRuderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction at finite temperature: Graphene and bilayer graphene
We investigate the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between magnetic impurities in both single layer and Bernal stacked bilayer graphene, finding a number of striking anomalies in the temperature dependence of this interaction. In undoped single layer graphene the strength of the RKKY interaction for substitutional impurities anomalously increases upon increasing temperature, an...
متن کاملScreening and collective modes in gapped bilayer graphene
We study the static and dynamic screening of gapped AB-stacked bilayer graphene. Unlike previous works we use the full 4-band model instead of the simplified 2-band model. We find that there are important qualitative differences between the dielectric screening function obtained using the simplified 2-band model and the 4-band model. In particular, within the 4-band model, in the presence of a ...
