▎ 摘  要

We explore the effect of multiorbital electron-electron interactions in a two-dimensional monolayer made of elemental carbon. Using density functional dynamical mean-field theory (DFDMFT), we show that the interplay between one-particle band narrowing and sizable on-site interactions naturally stabilizes the Mott insulating state in isotropically superstrained graphene. Our theory is expected to be a key step to understanding both the ability of graphene to afford large strain deformations and the changes in electronic degrees of freedom of p-band Coulomb interacting electrons for the next generation of flexible electronics made of semiconductive graphene.
