Density of states of graphene with vacancies — •Soumya Bera — MPI-PKS, Dresden

We numerically calculate the density of states (DOS) of graphene in the presence of compensated vacancy disorder. The model belongs to the BDI class of Atland-Zirnbauer symmetry classification of disordered metals, where the non-linear Sigma model predicts a Gade-type singularity in the DOS ρ(E) ∼ E−1 exp(−|log(E)|−1/2). We show that in the pre-asymptotic regime this is indeed true, however, at even lower energies the Gade-type behavior gives away to a stronger singularity of the form ρ(E) ∼ E−1 |log(E)|x with 2> x ≥ 1 in agreement with recent analytical work (Ostrovsky et al., PRL 113, 186803). We conclude that the generic Sigma model of the BDI class does not apply for strong (unitary) scatterers; the nature of disorder is of important to determine the low energy behaviour of disordered graphene.
