One Dimensional Physics in Bilayer Graphene

ORAL

Abstract

Bilayer graphene is an interesting material with many novel features. In the absence of a gate voltage, it exhibits quadratic band touching that is unstable to various forms of symmetry breaking. In the presence of a bias induced by a gate voltage, it behaves as a gapped semiconductor with a tunable gap. We discuss one dimensional edge modes and interaction effects in bilayer graphene.
