Collective magnetic excitations in AA- and AB-stacked graphene bilayers
arXiv:2107.11578 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.245412
Abstract
We discuss novel transverse plasmon-polaritons that are hosted by AA- and AB-stacked bilayer graphene due to perfect nesting. They are composed of oscillating counterflow currents in between the layers, giving a clear interpretation for these collective modes as magnetic excitations carrying magnetic moment parallel to the planes. For AA-stacked bilayer graphene, these modes can reach zero frequency at the neutrality point and we thus predict a symmetry broken ground-state leading to in-plane orbital ferromagnetism. Even though it could be hard to detect them in real solid-state devices, these novel magnetic plasmons should be observable in artificial set-ups such as optical lattices. Also, our results might be relevant for magic angle twisted bilayer graphene samples as their electronic properties are mostly determined by confined AA-stacked regions.
