Calculation of electron spectra and some problems in the thermodynamics of graphene layers
- Russian Academy of Sciences, Prokhorov General Physics Institute (Russian Federation)
The expressions for the energy spectra of monolayer, bilayer, and multilayer graphene, as well as epitaxial graphene, are derived using the quantum Green’s functions method. Analytic expressions are obtained for the densities of states of these systems. It is shown that a bandgap can appear the spectrum of an epitaxial graphene bilayer. A number of problems in the thermodynamics of electrons in free and epitaxial graphene layers are considered as applications. Analytic expressions are obtained for the chemical potential and heat capacity in the limiting cases of low and high temperatures. Quantum oscillations of heat capacity in graphene are analyzed taking into account the Coulomb interaction. The Berry phase of epitaxial graphene is investigated.
