Abstract:
Weak-coupling phenomena of the two-dimensional Hubbard model is gaining momentum as a new interesting research field due to its extraordinarily rich behavior as a function of the carrier density and model parameters. Salmhofer (1998Commun.Math.Phys.194249; 2001Phys.Rev.Lett.87187004) developed a new renormalization-group method for interacting Fermi systems and Metzner (2000Phys.Rev. B617364; 2000Phys.Rev.Lett.855162) implemented this renormalization group analysis of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. In this work, we demonstrate the spin-wave dependent electronic structure and susceptibility behavior of model graphene-phosphorene van der Waals heterostructure in the framework of renormalization group approach. We implement singlet vertex response function for the weakly interacting van der Waals Fermi system with nearest-neighbor hopping amplitudes. This analytical approach is further extended for spin-wave dependent susceptibility behavior. We present the resulting compressibility and phase diagram in the vicinity of half-filling, and also results for the density dependence of the critical energy scale.

Van der Waals Equation
First, the attractive forces between molecules, which are stronger at higher densities and reduce the pressure, are considered by adding to the pressure a term equal to the square of the molar density multiplied by a positive coefficient a. Second, the volume...
