The quasiparticle spectral function in doped graphene

Abstract

We calculate the real and imaginary electron self-energy as well as the quasiparticle spectral function in doped graphene taking into account electron-electron interaction in the leading order dynamically screened Coulomb coupling. Our theory provides the basis for calculating {\it all} one-electron properties of extrinsic graphene. Comparison with existing ARPES measurements shows broad qualitative agreement between theory and experiment. We also calculate the renormalized graphene momentum distribution function, finding a typical Fermi liquid discontinuity at k_F. We also provide a critical discussion of the relevant many body approximations (e.g. RPA) for graphene.
