Spin-Polarized-Current State of Electrons in Bilayer Graphene
arXiv:1405.0335 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.89.201108
Abstract
We propose a model of spin-polarized-current state for electrons in bilayer graphene. The model resolves the puzzles as revealed by experiments that (a) the energy gap of the insulating ground state at the charge neutrality point (CNP) can be closed by a perpendicular electric field of either polarity, (b) increases significantly with increasing the magnetic field , (c) the particle-hole spectrum is asymmetric in the presence of , (d) there is a peak structure in the electric conductivity at small at the CNP, and (e) there are quantum Hall states stemming from lifting of degeneracy in the lowest Landau level. The model predicts that the ground state of the system close to the CNP is a ferrimagnet at finite and the Hall current is spin polarized.
