In the limit of weak electron-electron interaction and small inter-layer spacing ($\\mu_{1(2)}, T\\ll v/d$) the drag is described by a universal function of the chemical potentials of the layers $\\mu_{1(2)}$ measured in the units of temperature $T$. When both layers are tuned close to the Dirac point, then the drag coefficient is proportional to the product of the chemical potentials $\\rho_D\\propto\\mu_1\\mu_2$. In the opposite limit of low temperature the drag is inversely proportional to both chemical potentials $\\rho_D\\propto T^2/(\\mu_1\\mu_2)$. In the mixed case where the chemical potentials of the two layers belong to the opposite limits $\\mu_1\\ll T\\ll\\mu_2$ we find $\\rho_D\\propto \\mu_1/\\mu_2$. For stronger interaction and larger values of $d$ the drag coefficient acquires logarithmic corrections and can no longer be described by a power law. Further logarithmic corrections are due to the energy dependence of the impurity scattering time in graphene (for $\\mu_{1(2)}\\gg T$ these are small and may be neglected). In the case of strongly doped (or gated) graphene $\\mu_{1(2)}\\gg v/d\\gg T$ the drag coefficient acquires additional dependence on the inter-layer spacing and we recover the usual Fermi-liquid result if the screening length is smaller than $d$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-01-20T06:14:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.80.Vp", "73.23.Ad", "73.63.Bd" ], "keywords": [ "coulomb drag", "perturbation theory", "chemical potentials", "drag coefficient acquires logarithmic corrections", "drag coefficient acquires additional dependence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "May", "volume": 85, "number": 19, "pages": 195421 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..85s5421N" } } }
