We describe an infrared transmission study of a thin layer of bulk graphite in magnetic fields up to B=34 T. Two series of absorption lines whose energy scales as sqrt[B] and B are present in the spectra and identified as contributions of massless holes at the H point and massive electrons in the vicinity of the K point, respectively. We find that the optical response of the K point electrons c...

We study the band structure, density of states, and spatial localization of edge states in twisted bilayer graphene nanoribbons. We devise these ribbons by cutting a stripe of commensurate twisted bilayer graphene along a direction with a maximum number of zigzag edge atoms. Due to the spatially inhomogeneous interlayer coupling, edge states stemming from regions with AB stacking are closer to ...

A theoretical model is presented to predict how the surface roughness may affect the adhesion between graphene membranes and their substrates. The bending modulus, which increases drastically from monolayer to multilayered graphene, plays an important role in the transition from conformal to non-conformal morphology of the graphene membranes on a corrugated surface. As such, the measurable adhe...

We theoretically study the dynamic screening properties of bilayer graphene within the random-phase approximation assuming quadratic band dispersion and zero gap for the single-particle spectrum. We calculate the frequency-dependent dielectric function of the system and obtain the low-energy plasmon dispersion and broadening of the plasmon modes from the dielectric function. We also calculate t...

Symmetry-breaking in a quantum system often leads to complex emergent behavior. In bilayer graphene (BLG), an electric field applied perpendicular to the basal plane breaks the inversion symmetry of the lattice, opening a band gap at the charge neutrality point. In a quantizing magnetic field, electron interactions can cause spontaneous symmetry-breaking within the spin and valley degrees of fr...

On the basis of a tight binding model we reveal how the bandgap in bilayer graphene antidot lattices (GALs) follows a different scaling law than in monolayer GALs and we provide an explanation using the Dirac model. We show that previous findings regarding the criteria for the appearance of a bandgap in monolayer GALs are equally applicable to the bilayer case. Furthermore, we briefly investiga...
