Microscopic theory of substrate-induced gap effect on real AFM susceptibility in graphene
SIVABRATA SAHU S K PANDA G C ROUT
We address here a tight-binding model study of frequency-dependent real part of antiferromagnetic susceptibility for the graphene systems. TheHamiltonian consists of electron hopping upto third nearest-neighbours,substrate and impurity effects in the presence of electron–electron interactions at A and B sublattices. To calculate susceptibility, we evaluate the two-particle electron Green’s function by using Zubarev’s Green’s functiontechnique. The frequency-dependent real part of antiferromagnetic susceptibility of the system is computed numerically by taking 1000 × 1000 grid points of the electron momentum. The susceptibility displays a sharp peak at the neutron momentum transfer energy at low energies and another higher energy peak appearing at substrate-induced gap. The evolution of these two peaks is investigated by varying neutron wave vector, Coulomb correlation energy, substrate-induced gap, electron hopping integrals and A- and B-site electron doping concentrations.

Dielectric constant of graphene-on-polarized substrate: A tight-binding model study
SIVABRATA SAHU S K S PARASHAR G C ROUT
We report here a microscopic tight-binding theoretical study of the dynamic dielectric response of graphene-on-polarizable substrate with impurity. The Hamiltonian consists of first, second and third nearest neighbour electron hopping interactions besides doping and substrate-induced effects on graphene. We have introduced electron–electron correlation effect at A and B sublattices of graphene which is considered within Hartree–Fock mean-field approximation. The electron occupancies at both sublattices are calculated and solvedself-consistently and numerically for both up- and down-spin orientations. The polarization function appearing in the dielectric function is a two-particle Green’s function which is calculated by using Zubarev’s Green’s function technique. The temperature and optical frequency-dependent dielectric function is evaluated and compared with experimental data by varying Coulomb correlation energy, substrate-induced gap and impurity concentrations.
