Abstract

Using the massless Dirac-Weyl model for monolayer graphene sheet, we study the low-lying spectra of a single Dirac electron system bound to an on-center positively charged Coulomb impurity, under both electrostatic potential and magnetic field. Numerical results obtained from diagonalization show that, the increase of the electrostatic potential causes the low-lying states to evolve from one Landau-type plateau to the higher ones, and the whole spectra exhibit similar features with slight shifts in eigenenergies when the on-center impurity is considered. Electrostatic-potential dependent optical spectra with their corresponding absorption coefficients as functions of incident photon energies for transitions between low-lying states are presented.
