Dot-bound and dispersive states in graphene quantum dot superlattices
arXiv:1404.2097 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.89.165121
Abstract
We consider a square lattice configuration of circular gate-defined quantum dots in an unbiased graphene sheet and calculate the electronic, particularly spectral properties of finite albeit actual sample sized systems by means of a numerically exact kernel polynomial expansion technique. Analyzing the local density of states and the momentum resolved photoemission spectrum we find clear evidence for a series of quasi-bound states at the dots, which can be probed by optical measurements. We further analyze the interplay of the superlattice structure with dot localized modes on the electron energy dispersion. Effects of disordered dot lattices are discussed too.
