Observation of an electrically tunable band gap in trilayer graphene
A striking feature of bilayer graphene is the induction of a significant band gap in the electronic states by the application of a perpendicular electric field1–7. Thicker graphene layers are also highly attractive materials. The ability to produce a band gap in these systems is of great fundamental and practical interest. Both experimental8 and theoretical9–16 investigations of graphene trilay...
متن کاملElectrically tunable band gap in silicene
We report calculations of the electronic structure of silicene and the stability of its weakly buckled honeycomb lattice in an external electric field oriented perpendicular to the monolayer of Si atoms. The electric field produces a tunable band gap in the Dirac-type electronic spectrum, the gap being suppressed by a factor of about eight by the high polarizability of the system. At low electr...
متن کاملStacking-dependent band gap and quantum transport in trilayer graphene
Graphene1–3 is an extraordinary two-dimensional (2D) system with chiral charge carriers and fascinating electronic, mechanical and thermal properties4,5. In multilayer graphene6,7, stacking order provides an important yet rarely explored degree of freedom for tuning its electronic properties8. For instance, Bernal-stacked trilayer graphene (B-TLG) is semi-metallic with a tunable band overlap, a...
متن کاملTunable infrared phonon anomalies in trilayer graphene.
Trilayer graphene in both ABA (Bernal) and ABC (rhombohedral) stacking sequences is shown to exhibit intense infrared absorption from in-plane optical phonons. The phonon feature, lying at ~1580 cm(-1), changes strongly with electrostatic gating. For ABC-stacked graphene trilayers, we observed a large enhancement in phonon absorption amplitude, as well as softening of the phonon mode, as the Fe...
متن کاملTunable Wideband Graphene based Filters in THz Band
In this paper, a procedure for analyzing and designing of tunable wideband band-pass and band-stop graphene based filters in the terahertz band is proposed. These planar wideband plasmonic filters are unique in their kind. With this procedure, it is possible to design filters with the desired functional characteristics in the form of the similar quarter-wavelength resonance stubs. The discontin...
