%X We perform a detailed analysis of electronic polarizability of graphene with different theoretical approaches.From Kubo’s linear response formalism, we give a general expression of frequency and wave-vector dependentpolarizability within the random phase approximation. Four theoretical approaches have been applied to thesingle-layer graphene and their differences are on the band overlap of wave functions. By comparing with theab initio calculation, we discuss the validity of methods used in literature. Our results show that the tightbinding method is as good as the time-demanding ab initio approach in calculating the polarizability of graphene.Moreover, due to the special Dirac-cone band structure of graphene, the Dirac model reproduces results of thetight-binding method for energy smaller than 3 eV. For doped graphene, the intraband transitions dominateat low energies and can be described by the Lindhard formula for two-dimensional electron gases. At zerotemperature and long-wavelength limit, with the relaxation time approximation, all theoretical methods reduceto a long-wave analytical formula and the intraband contributions agree to the Drude polarizability of graphene.Effects of electrical doping and temperature are also discussed. This work may provide a solid reference forresearches and applications of the screening effect of graphene.
