摘要

The polarization of graphene is calculated exactly within the random phase approximation for arbitrary frequency, wavevector and doping. At finite doping, the static susceptibility saturates to a constant value for low momenta. At q=2k(F) it has a discontinuity only in the second derivative. In the presence of a charged impurity this results in Friedel oscillations which decay with the same power law as the Thomas-Fermi contribution, the latter being always dominant. The spin density oscillations in the presence of a magnetic impurity are also calculated. The dynamical polarization for low q and arbitrary omega is employed to calculate the dispersion relation and the decay rate of plasmons and acoustic phonons as a function of doping. The low screening of graphene, combined with the absence of a gap, leads to a significant stiffening of the longitudinal acoustic lattice vibrations.
