  Abstract:
We study the optical conductivity of a doped graphene when a symmetry breaking of the sublattices is occurred in the presence of electron-phonon interaction. Our study is based on the Kuba formula that is established upon the retarded self-energy. We report new features of both the real and imaginary parts of the quasiparticle self-energy in the presence of a gap opening. We find an analytical expression for the renormalized Fermi velocity of massive Dirac Fermions over broad ranges of electron densities, gap values and the electron-phonon coupling constant. Finally we conclude that the inclusion of the renormalized Fermi energy and the band gap effects is indeed crucial to get reasonable feature for the optical conductivity.
