▎ 摘  要

Two opposite chiralities of Dirac electrons in a two-dimensional (2D) graphene sheet modify the Friedel oscillations strongly: electrostatic potential around an impurity in graphene decays much faster than in 2D electron gas. At distances r much larger than the de Broglie wavelength, it decays as 1/r(3). Here we show that a weak uniform magnetic field affects the Friedel oscillations in an anomalous way. It creates a field-dependent contribution which is dominant in a parametrically large spatial interval p less than or similar to r less than or similar to k where l is the magnetic length, k is Fermi momentum, and p = (k, Moreover, in this interval, the field-dependent oscillations do not decay with distance. The effect originates from a spin-dependent magnetic phase accumulated by the electron propagator. The obtained phase may give rise to novel interaction effects in transport and thermodynamic characteristics of graphene and graphene-based heterostructures.
