Comparison of Coulomb Impurity, Longitudinal Acoustic Phonons, and Surface Optical Phonons Affecting the n = 0 Landau Level in Monolayer Graphene by W. H. Ji, H. T. Yang, S. L. Ban

“…The method of Lee-Low-Pines variation with an arbitrary carrier-phonon coupling is adopted to derive the effects of phonons. It is found that the energy gap of n = 0 Landau level opened by carrier-longitudinal acoustic phonons cannot be the main mechanism, whereas both the carrier-surface optical phonon interaction and the carrier-impurity interaction play the main roles in determining the energy splitting.…”
