We present evidence, from lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the phase diagram of graphene as a function of the Coulomb coupling between quasiparticles, that graphene in vacuum is likely to be an insulator. We find a semimetal-insulator transition at alpha_{g};{crit}=1.11+/-0.06, where alpha_{g} approximately 2.16 in vacuum, and alpha_{g} approximately 0.79 on a SiO2 substrate. Our analysis uses the logarithmic derivative of the order parameter, supplemented by an equation of state. The insulating phase disappears above a critical number of four-component fermion flavors 4<N_{f};{crit}<6. Our data are consistent with a second-order transition.
我们通过对石墨烯相图进行晶格蒙特卡罗模拟,研究了准粒子之间的库仑耦合作用,结果表明真空中的石墨烯可能是一种绝缘体。我们发现在αg;crit = 1.11±0.06处存在半金属 - 绝缘体转变,其中真空中αg约为2.16,在SiO2衬底上αg约为0.79。我们的分析使用了序参量的对数导数,并辅以状态方程。绝缘相在四分量费米子味数的临界值4 < Nf;crit < 6以上消失。我们的数据与二阶转变一致。
