Examples are biased bilayer graphene, and surfaces and interfaces with a Rashba spin-orbit interaction where at low doping the carriers fill an annulus. This topological feature causes an anomalous screening behavior, which we study using the Thomas-Fermi theory. Specifically, reducing the doping is predicted to enhance the linear screening response, while at zero doping the size of the screening cloud surrounding a Coulomb impurity is found to increase as the cube root of the impurity charge.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-06T15:20:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dispersion law", "anomalous screening", "extremum ring", "energy extremal ridge", "two-dimensional materials possess" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
