Electronic ground state properties of strained graphene    [PDF]

H. Rostami, Reza Asgari
We consider the effect of the Coulomb interaction in strained graphene using tight-binding approximation together with the Hartree-Fock interactions. The many-body energy dispersion relation, anisotropic Fermi velocity renormalization and charge compressibility in the presence of uniaxial strain are calculated. We show that the quasiparticle quantities are sensitive to homogenous strain and indeed, to its sign. The charge compressibility is enhanced by stretching and suppressed by compressing a graphene sheet. We find a reduction of Fermi velocity renormalization along the direction of graphene deformation, in good agreement with the recent experimental observation.
