Abstract
The effect of charged Coulombic impurity screening on the n = 0 Landau level splitting of graphene with a polar substrate under a static magnetic field is investigated theoretically considering the electron-phonon Fröhlich interaction from surface optical phonons of the substrate. The screening is improved using a static dielectric function under the random-phase approximation. A method of linear combination operators is adopted to deal with the influence from a magnetic field and a weak electron-phonon coupling theory is used to discuss the effect from the surface optical phonons. It is found that the splitting due to phonons can be broadened by the charged impurity screening and the broadening increases as increasing of the magnetic field. Our results may provide a possible way to enlarge the energy gap of monolayer graphene.
期刊介绍：
Superlattices and Microstructures has continued as Micro and Nanostructures. Micro and Nanostructures is a journal disseminating the science and technology of micro-structures and nano-structures in materials and their devices, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties. The journal hosts papers dealing with fundamental and applied experimental research as well as theoretical studies. Fields of interest, including emerging ones, cover:
• Novel micro and nanostructures
• Nanomaterials (nanowires, nanodots, 2D materials ) and devices
• Synthetic heterostructures
• Plasmonics
• Micro and nano-defects in materials (semiconductor, metal and insulators)
• Surfaces and interfaces of thin films
In addition to Research Papers, the journal aims at publishing Topical Reviews providing insights into rapidly evolving or more mature fields. Written by leading researchers in their respective fields, those articles are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
Formerly known as Superlattices and Microstructures, with a 2021 IF of 3.22 and 2021 CiteScore of 5.4
