Cooper pairing of electrons and holes in graphene bilayer: Correlation
effects
   [PDF]

Yu. E. Lozovik, S. L. Ogarkov, A. A. Sokolik
Cooper pairing of spatially separated electrons and holes in graphene bilayer
is studied beyond the mean-field approximation. Suppression of the screening at
large distances, caused by appearance of the gap, is considered
self-consistently. A mutual positive feedback between appearance of the gap and
enlargement of the interaction leads to a sharp transition to correlated state
with greatly increased gap above some critical value of the coupling strength.
At coupling strength below the critical, this correlation effect increases the
gap approximately by a factor of two. The maximal coupling strength achievable
in experiments is close to the critical value. This indicated importance of
correlation effects in closely-spaced graphene bilayers at weak substrate
dielectric screening. Another effect beyond mean-field approximation considered
is an influence of vertex corrections on the pairing, which is shown to be very
weak.
