Interaction between charged particles in a 2D slab (and the Rytova-Keldysh approach)

Charged particles in a three dimensional medium with uniform dielectric constant interact via Coulomb potential. This potential solves Poisson equation for a point charge in such a situation. However, in 2D materials and thin films/layers/slabs, the dielectric constant in the system depends on the direction perpendicular to the slab, so that the common Coulomb interaction is no longer suitable. Here, I discuss how to solve Poisson equation in this situation and show the approximations needed to reach the so called Rytova-Keldysh potential, which has been widely used for interactions in 2D materials lately.
