Abstract

The secondary-quantized self-consistent Dirac–Hartree–Fock approach has been used to consider the electronic properties of monolayer graphene with an accounting of spin-polarized states. The approach allows the coherent explanation of experimental results on energy band minigaps and charge carrier asymmetry in graphene and the proposal of a description of valent and conduction zone shifts and gives a theoretical estimation of electron and hole masses that is in accordance with known experimental data.
