摘要
A recent surprising finding that electronic compressibility measured experimentally in monolayer graphene can be described solely in terms of the kinetic energy [J. Martin , Nat. Phys. 4, 144 (2008)] is explained theoretically as a direct consequence of the linear energy dispersion and the chirality of massless Dirac electrons. For bilayer graphene we show that contributions to the compressibility from the electron correlations are restored. We attribute the difference to the respective momentum dependence of the low-energy-band structures of the two materials.
