Conductivity of interacting massless Dirac particles in graphene: Collisionless regime
arXiv:1009.3269 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.82.235402
Abstract
We provide detailed calculation of the a.c. conductivity in the case of 1/r-Coulomb interacting massless Dirac particles in graphene in the collisionless limit when ω>> T. The analysis of the electron self-energy, current vertex function and polarization function, which enter into the calculation of physical quantities including the a.c. conductivity, is carried out by checking the Ward-Takahashi identities associated with the electrical charge conservation and making sure that they are satisfied at each step. We adopt a variant of the dimensional regularization of Veltman and t'Hooft by taking the spatial dimension D=2-ε, for ε> 0. The procedure adopted here yields a result for the conductivity correction which, while explicitly preserving charge conservation laws, is nevertheless different from the results reported previously in literature.
