Electric Field Dependence of Excitation Spectra in AB-Stacked Bilayer Graphene
نویسندگان
چکیده
The single- and many-particle Coulomb excitation spectra in Bernal bilayer graphene can be modulated by a uniform perpendicular electric field. The field-induced oscillatory parabolic bands possess saddle points and local extrema, which, respectively, lead to logarithmically divergent peaks and discontinuous steps in the bare response functions. Such special structures are associated with the plasmon peaks in the screened loss spectra. Their main characteristics, such as their existence, frequency, and strength, vary strongly with the field strength and transferred momentum. The predicted results could be further examined by inelastic light scattering spectroscopy and electron-energy-loss spectroscopy.

Dielectric screening and plasmons in AA-stacked bilayer graphene
The screening properties and collective excitations (plasmons) in AA-stacked bilayer graphene are studied within the random phase approximation. Whereas long-lived plasmons in single-layer graphene and in AB-stacked bilayer graphene can exist only in doped samples, we find that coherent plasmons can disperse in AA-stacked bilayer graphene even in the absence of doping. Moreover, we show that th...

The unique mechanical and electronic properties of graphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, make it a promising material for applications in a number of new technologies including ultra capacitors, photvoltaic cells, and sensors. Single layer graphene by itself is a gapless semiconductor, however when two layers of graphene are brought together to form A...
متن کاملSynthesis of quasi-free-standing bilayer graphene nanoribbons on SiC surfaces
Scaling graphene down to nanoribbons is a promising route for the implementation of this material into devices. Quantum confinement of charge carriers in such nanostructures, combined with the electric field-induced break of symmetry in AB-stacked bilayer graphene, leads to a band gap wider than that obtained solely by this symmetry breaking. Consequently, the possibility of fabricating AB-stac...

Bilayer graphene has attracted wide attention due to its unique band structure and bandgap tunability under specific (Bernal or AB) stacking order. However, it remains challenging to tailor the stacking order and to simultaneously produce large-scale and high-quality bilayer graphene. This work introduces a fast and reliable method of growing high-quality Bernal stacked large-area (>3 in. × 3 i...

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...
