The bias voltage applied between the two graphene layers opens a gap in the single particle energy spectrum and modifies the many-body correlations and collective excitations. The energy gap can soften the plasmon modes and lead to a crossover of the plasmons from a Landau damped mode to being undamped. Plasmon modes of long lifetime may be observable in experiments and may have potentials for device applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-01-15T20:34:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.10.-w", "75.10.Lp", "75.70.Ak", "71.70.Gm" ], "keywords": [ "biased bilayer graphene", "collective excitations", "coulomb screening", "single particle energy spectrum", "plasmon modes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 81, "number": 8, "pages": "081402" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..81h1402W" } } }
