Velocity renormalization and anomalous quasiparticle dispersion in
extrinsic graphene
   [PDF]

S. Das Sarma, E. H. Hwang
Using many-body diagrammatic perturbation theory we consider carrier density- and substrate-dependent many-body renormalization of doped graphene induced by Coulombic electron-electron interaction effects. We quantitatively calculate the many-body spectral function, the renormalized quasiparticle energy dispersion, and the renormalized graphene velocity using the leading-order self-energy in the dynamically screened Coulomb interaction. We predict experimentally detectable many-body signatures, which are enhanced as the carrier density and the substrate dielectric constant are reduced, finding an intriguing instability in the graphene excitation spectrum at low wave vectors where interaction completely destroys all particle-like features of the noninteracting linear dispersion.
