Field modulation in bilayer graphene band structure.
Using an external electric field, one can modulate the band gap of Bernal stacked bilayer graphene by breaking the A-[Formula: see text] symmetry. We analyze strain effects on the bilayer graphene using the extended Hückel theory and find that reduced interlayer distance results in higher band gap modulation, as expected. Furthermore, above about 2.5 Å interlayer distance, the band gap is direc...
متن کاملBand structure asymmetry of bilayer graphene revealed by infrared spectroscopy.
We report on infrared spectroscopy of bilayer graphene integrated in gated structures. We observe a significant asymmetry in the optical conductivity upon electrostatic doping of electrons and holes. We show that this finding arises from a marked asymmetry between the valence and conduction bands, which is mainly due to the inequivalence of the two sublattices within the graphene layer and the ...
متن کاملTunneling Plasmonics in Bilayer Graphene.
We report experimental signatures of plasmonic effects due to electron tunneling between adjacent graphene layers. At subnanometer separation, such layers can form either a strongly coupled bilayer graphene with a Bernal stacking or a weakly coupled double-layer graphene with a random stacking order. Effects due to interlayer tunneling dominate in the former case but are negligible in the latte...
متن کاملStrained bilayer graphene: Band structure topology and Landau level spectrum
We show that topology of the low-energy band structure in bilayer graphene critically depends on mechanical deformations of the crystal which may easily develop in suspended graphene flakes. We describe the Lifshitz transition that takes place in strained bilayers upon splitting the parabolic bands at intermediate energies into several Dirac cones at the energy scale of a few meV. Then, we show...
متن کاملAsymmetry gap in the electronic band structure of bilayer graphene
A tight binding model is used to calculate the band structure of bilayer graphene in the presence of a potential difference between the layers that opens a gap ∆ between the conduction and valence bands. In particular, a self consistent Hartree approximation is used to describe imperfect screening of an external gate, employed primarily to control the density n of electrons on the bilayer, resu...
