Inhomogeneity and nonlinear screening in gapped bilayer graphene
We demonstrate that for gapped bilayer graphene, the nonlinear nature of the screening of an external disorder potential and the resulting inhomogeneity of the electron liquid are crucial for describing the electronic compressibility. In particular, traditional diagrammatic methods of many-body theory do not include this inhomogeneity and therefore fail to reproduce experimental data accurately...
متن کاملElectronic compressibility of a graphene bilayer.
We calculate the electronic compressibility arising from electron-electron interactions for a graphene bilayer within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We show that, due to the chiral nature of the particles in this system, the compressibility is rather different from those of either the two-dimensional electron gas or ordinary semiconductors. We find that an inherent competition between the cont...
متن کاملColective Electronic Properties of Gapped Bilayer Graphene
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 کاملInhomogenous electronic structure, transport gap, and percolation threshold in disordered bilayer graphene.
The inhomogenous real-space electronic structure of gapless and gapped disordered bilayer graphene is calculated in the presence of quenched charge impurities. For gapped bilayer graphene, we find that for current experimental conditions the amplitude of the fluctuations of the screened disorder potential is of the order of (or often larger than) the intrinsic gap Δ induced by the application o...
متن کاملBand topology and quantum spin Hall effect in bilayer graphene
We consider bilayer graphene in the presence of spin orbit coupling, to assess its behavior as a topological insulator. The first Chern number n for the energy bands of single and bilayer graphene is computed and compared. It is shown that for a given valley and spin, n in a bilayer is doubled with respect to the monolayer. This implies that bilayer graphene will have twice as many edge states ...
