Evidence for a spontaneous gapped state in ultraclean bilayer graphene.
At the charge neutrality point, bilayer graphene (BLG) is strongly susceptible to electronic interactions and is expected to undergo a phase transition to a state with spontaneously broken symmetries. By systematically investigating a large number of single-and double-gated BLG devices, we observe a bimodal distribution of minimum conductivities at the charge neutrality point. Although σ(min) i...
متن کاملCoulomb impurity in graphene
We consider the problem of screening of an electrically charged impurity in a clean graphene sheet. When electron-electron interactions are neglected, the screening charge has a sign opposite to that of the impurity, and is localized near the impurity. Interactions between electrons smear out the induced charge density to give a largedistance tail that follows approximately, but not exactly, an...
متن کاملCoulomb impurity problem in graphene.
We address the problem of an unscreened Coulomb charge in graphene and calculate the local density of states and displaced charge as a function of energy and distance from the impurity. This is done nonperturbatively in two different ways: (1) solving the problem exactly by studying numerically the tight-binding model on the lattice and (2) using the continuum description in terms of the 2D Dir...
متن کاملSupercritical Coulomb Impurities in Gapped Graphene
We study the problem of Coulomb field-induced charging of the ground state in a system of 2D massive Dirac particles – gapped graphene. As in its 3D QED counterpart, the critical Coulomb coupling is renormalized to higher values, compared to the massless case. We find that in gapped graphene a novel supercritical regime is possible, where the screening charge is comparable to the impurity charg...
متن کاملThermally activated conductivity in gapped bilayer graphene
This is a theoretical study of electron transport in gated bilayer graphene — a novel semiconducting material with a tunable band gap. It is shown that the quantum mechanical superposition between conduction and valence band states enhances the subgap conductivity and facilitates the thermally activated transport. The mechanism proposed can also lead to the non-monotonic conductivity vs. temper...
