Popis: Recently it was reported experimentally that the monolayer graphene can be doped to beyond the Van Hove singularity. We study theoretically the possible superconductivity and the corresponding spin excitations of the monolayer graphene in this doping region. A static spin-density-wave state is favorable due to the nested Fermi surface as the Fermi level is doped to the Van Hove singularity point. Superconductivity may be realized upon further doping. The spin excitations in the superconducting state are studied theoretically based on the random phase approximation. The overall features are qualitatively the same with those in cuprate superconductors. Thus we have proposed an exciting possibility, namely, the heavily overdoped monolayer graphene can become a novel platform to study the unconventional superconductivity.
