Neutrality point of graphene with coplanar charged impurities

Abstract

The ground-state and the transport properties of graphene subject to the potential of in-plane charged impurities are studied. The screening of the impurity potential is shown to be nonlinear, producing a fractal structure of electron and hole puddles. Statistical properties of this density distribution as well as the charge compressibility of the system are calculated in the leading-log approximation. The conductivity depends logarithmically on $\alpha$, the dimensionless strength of the Coulomb interaction. The theory is asymptotically exact when $\alpha$ is small, which is the case for graphene on a substrate with a high dielectric constant.
