چکیده

We show that Friedel oscillations (FO) in grapehene are strongly affected by the chirality of electrons in this material. In particular, the FO of the charge density around an impurity show a faster (deltarho approximately r;{-3}) decay than in conventional 2D electron systems and do not contribute to a linear temperature-dependent correction to the resistivity. In contrast, the FO of the exchange field which surrounds atomically sharp defects breaking the hexagonal symmetry of the honeycomb lattice lead to a negative linear T dependence of the resistivity.

Transport 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...

The local density of states in the presence of impurity scattering in graphene at high magnetic field

We study the Fourier transform of the local density of states (LDOS) in graphene in the presence of a single impurity at high magnetic field. We find that the most pronounced features occur for energies of the STM tip matching the Landau level energies. The Fourier transform of the LDOS shows regions of high intensity centered around the center and the corners of the Brillouin zone (BZ). The ra...

The Local Density of States in Monolayer and Bilayer Graphene in the Presence of an Impurity

We analyze the effect of a single localized impurity on the local density of states in monoand bilayer undoped graphene. We show that for monolayer graphene the Friedel oscillations generated by intranodal scattering of quasiparticles obey an inverse-square law, while those generated by internodal scattering obey an inverse law. Unlike the former, the latter oscillations may break rotational sy...

Effect of a single impurity on the local density of states in monolayer and bilayer graphene

We use the T-matrix approximation to analyze the effect of a localized impurity on the local density of states in monoand bilayer graphene. For monolayer graphene the Friedel oscillations generated by intranodal scattering obey an inverse-square law, while the internodal ones obey an inverse law. In the Fourier transform this translates into a filled circle of high intensity in the center of th...

Calculation of the Force Acting on an Impurity in a Metal Submitted to an Electric Field or a Temperature Gradient

Using the Bosvieux-Friedel polarization model, the charge carrier induced force on an impurity in a normal metal submitted to a temperature gradient or an electric field is calculated, and a connection is made between the two phenomena. The results are interpreted in terms of the specific resistivity and thermoelectric power of the impurity in the matrix. A crude estimation of the force due to ...
