The dynamical conductivity of interacting multiband electronic systems derived in Ref.[1] is shown to be consistent with the general form of the Ward identity. Using the semiphenomenological form of this conductivity formula, we have demonstrated that the relaxation-time approximation can be used to describe the damping effects in weakly interacting multiband systems only if local charge conservation in the system and gauge invariance of the response theory are properly treated. Such a gauge-invariant response theory is illustrated on the common tight-binding model for conduction electrons in hole-doped graphene. The model predicts two distinctly resolved maxima in the energy-loss-function spectra. The first one corresponds to the intraband plasmons (usually called the Dirac plasmons). On the other hand, the second maximum ($pi$ plasmon structure) is simply a consequence of the van Hove singularity in the single-electron density of states. The dc resistivity and the real part of the dynamical conductivity are found to be well described by the relaxation-time approximation, but only in the parametric space in which the damping is dominated by the direct scattering processes. The ballistic transport and the damping of Dirac plasmons are thus the questions that require abandoning the relaxation-time approximation.

Monolayer structures made up of purely one kind of atoms are fascinating. Many kinds of honeycomb systems including carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, phosphorus and arsenic have been shown to be stable. However, so far the structures are restricted to
group IV and V elements. In this letter, we systematically investigate the stability of monolayer structures made up of aluminium, in four different geometric configurations (planar, buckled, puckered and triangular), by employing density functional theory based electronic structure calculation. Our results on cohesive energy and phonon dispersion predict that only planar honeycomb structure made up of aluminium is stable. We call it aluminene according to the standard naming convention. It is a metal. Results of electronic band structure suggest that it may be regarded as a highly hole doped graphene. We also present the tight-binding model and the Dirac theory to discuss the electronic properties of aluminene.
Coupling of plasmons in graphene at terahert (THz) frequencies with surface plasmons in a heavily-doped substrate is studied theoretically. We reveal that a huge scattering rate may completely damp out the plasmons, so that proper choices of material
and geometrical parameters are essential to suppress the coupling effect and to obtain the minimum damping rate in graphene. Even with the doping concentration 10^{19} - 10^{20} cm^{-3} and the thickness of the dielectric layer between graphene and the substrate 100 nm, which are typical values in real graphene samples with a heavily-doped substrate, the increase in the damping rate is not negligible in comparison with the acoustic-phonon-limited damping rate. Dependence of the damping rate on wavenumber, thicknesses of graphene-to-substrate and gate-to-graphene separation, substrate doping concentration, and dielectric constants of surrounding materials are investigated. It is shown that the damping rate can be much reduced by the gate screening, which suppresses the field spread of the graphene plasmons into the substrate.
We introduce a multi-scale approach to obtain accurate atomic and electronic structures for atomically relaxed twisted bilayer graphene. High-level exact exchange and random phase approximation (EXX+RPA) correlation data provides the foundation to pa
rametrize systematically improved force fields for molecular dynamic simulations that allow relaxing twisted layered graphene systems containing millions of atoms making possible a fine sweeping of twist angles. These relaxed atomic positions are used as input for tight-binding electronic band-structure calculations where the distance and angle-dependent interlayer hopping terms are extracted from density functional theory calculations and subsequent representation with Wannier orbitals. We benchmark our results against published force fields and widely used tight-binding models and discuss their impact in the spectrum around the flat band energies. We find that our relaxation scheme yields a magic angle of twisted bilayer graphene consistent with experiments between $1.0 sim 1.1$ degree using commonly accepted Fermi velocities of graphene $v_F = 1.0 sim 1.1 times 10^6$ m/s that is enhanced by about 14%-20% compared with often used local density approximation estimates. Finally, we present high-resolution spectral function calculations for comparison with experimental ARPES. Additional force field parameters are provided for hBN-layered materials.
A long spin relaxation time (tausf) is the key for the applications of graphene to spintronics but the experimental values of tausf have been generally much shorter than expected. We show that the usual determination by the Hanle method underestimate
s tausf if proper account of the spin absorption by contacts is lacking. By revisiting series of experimental results, we find that the corrected tausf are longer and less dispersed, which leads to a more unified picture of tausf derived from experiments. We also discuss how the correction depends on the parameters of the graphene and contacts.
Graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene is an excellent platform to study scattering processes of massless Dirac fermions by charged impurities, in which high mobility can be preserved due to the absence of lattice defects through direct substitution of ca
rbon atoms in the graphene lattice by nitrogen atoms. In this work, we report on electrical and magnetotransport measurements of high-quality graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene. We show that the substitutional nitrogen dopants in graphene introduce atomically sharp scatters for electrons but long-range Coulomb scatters for holes and, thus, graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene exhibits clear electron-hole asymmetry in transport properties. Dominant scattering processes of charge carriers in graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene are analyzed. It is shown that the electron-hole asymmetry originates from a distinct difference in intervalley scattering of electrons and holes. We have also carried out the magnetotransport measurements of graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene at different temperatures and the temperature dependences of intervalley scattering, intravalley scattering and phase coherent scattering rates are extracted and discussed. Our results provide an evidence for the electron-hole asymmetry in the intervalley scattering induced by substitutional nitrogen dopants in graphene and shine a light on versatile and potential applications of graphitic nitrogen-doped graphene in electronic and valleytronic devices.
