Correlations in Graphene

This event is part of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.

Abstract: Due to its unique electronic structure Graphene exhibits
unconventional interaction effects, not found in other 2D systems.
I will review some of the most spectacular phenomena arising from
electron-electron interactions of Dirac fermions. In will then describe
recent work on anisotropic Dirac fermions, which arise naturally in
strained graphene and graphene superlattices. In such systems
interactions can lead to formation of novel quasi-one dimensional
correlated states that seem quite distinct from other known non-Fermi
liquids.
