The Effective Fine-Structure Constant of Freestanding Graphene Measured in Graphite

The Effective Fine-Structure Constant of Freestanding Graphene Measured in Graphite

Electrons in graphene behave like Dirac fermions, permitting phenomena from high energy physics to be studied in a solid state setting. A key question is whether or not these Fermions are critically influenced by Coulomb correlations. We performed inelastic x-ray scattering experiments on crystals of graphite, and applied reconstruction algorithms …
