Many-electron effect to the dynamical polarization of silicene-like two-dimension Dirac materials

Abstract

We discuss the dynamical polarization with finite momentum and frequency in the presence of many-electron effect, including the screened Coulomb interaction, self-energy and vertex correction. The longitudinal conductivity, screened Coulomb interaction, and the response function are calculated. The behavior of the Dirac Fermions, including the propagation of the charge density which exhibits the causality, affects largely the low-temperature physical properties of the Dirac semimetal, like the silicene. For the polarization-related quantities (like the dielectric function), the method of standard random phase approximation (RPA) provides the non-interaction results (ignore the many electron effect), for a more exact result, we discuss the self-energy and the vertex correction for the two-dimension Dirac model. We found that, after the self-energy correction, the longitudinal conductivity increase compared to the noninteracting one in optical limit. For the renormalization treatment, the ultraviolet cutoff is setted as $\Lambda =t$ in our calculations, i.e., within the range between two Van Hove singularities where the density of states divergent logarithmically. %The $\Lambda$ is indeed a non-universal parameter and can also be choiced larger than arbitary $\mathbf{q}$ or $\omega$. The (corrected) screened Coulomb interaction and the response function are also discussed. Our results are helpful to the application of the Dirac materials (or the Weyl semimetal) in spintronics or valleytronics.
