Tuning impurity states in bilayer graphene
arXiv:0711.1168 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.77.115114
Abstract
We study the impurity states in bilayer graphene in the unitary limit using Green's function method. Unlike in single layer graphene, the presence of impurities at two non-equivalent sites in bilayer graphene produce different impurity states which is understood as the change in the band structure due to interlayer hopping of electrons. The impurity states can also be tuned by changing the band structure of bilayer grahene through external electric field bias.
