Klöpfer, D., De Martino, A., Matrasulov, D. & Egger, R. (2014). Scattering theory and ground-state energy of Dirac fermions in graphene with two Coulomb impurities. European Physical Journal B: Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, 87(8), 187. doi: 10.1140/epjb/e2014-50414-8

Abstract

We study the physics of Dirac fermions in a gapped graphene monolayer containing two Coulomb impurities. For the case of equal impurity charges, we discuss the ground-state energy using the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) approach. For opposite charges of the Coulomb centers, an electric dipole potential results at large distances. We provide a nonperturbative analysis of the corresponding low-energy scattering problem.
