Effect of disorder on the ground-state properties of graphene
We calculate the ground-state energy of Dirac electrons in graphene in the presence of disorder. We take randomly distributed charged impurities at a fixed distance from the graphene sheet and surface fluctuations (ripples) as the main scattering mechanisms. Mode-coupling approach to scattering rate and random-phase approximation for ground-state energy incorporating the many-body interactions and the disorder effects yields good agreement with experimental inverse compressibility.
