Abstract

We present results from lattice simulations of a monolayer graphene model at non-zero temperature. At low temperatures for sufficiently strong coupling the model develops an excitonic condensate of particle-hole pairs corresponding to an insulating phase. The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase tr...
