Asymmetry gap in the electronic band structure of bilayer graphene

Abstract

A tight binding model is used to calculate the band structure of bilayer graphene in the presence of a potential difference between the layers that opens a gap $\Delta$ between the conduction and valence bands. In particular, a self consistent Hartree approximation is used to describe imperfect screening of an external gate, employed primarily to control the density $n$ of electrons on the bilayer, resulting in a potential difference between the layers and a density dependent gap $\Delta (n)$. We discuss the influence of a finite asymmetry gap $\Delta (0)$ at zero excess density, caused by the screening of an additional transverse electric field, on observations of the quantum Hall effect.
