Unlike previous works we use the 4-band model instead of the simplified 2-band model. We find that there are important qualitative differences between the dielectric screening function obtained using the 2-band and that obtained using the 4-band model. In particular within the 4-band model in the presence of a band-gap the static screening exhibits Kohn anomalies that are absent within the 2-band model. Moreover, using the 4-band model, we are able to examine the effect of trigonal warping (absent in the 2-band model) on the screening properties of bilayer graphene. We also find that the plasmon modes have qualitatively different character in the 4-band model compared to 2-band results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-10-22T20:05:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.80.Vp", "71.10.-w", "71.45.Gm", "73.21.-b" ], "keywords": [ "gapped bilayer graphene", "collective modes", "plasmon modes", "important qualitative differences" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 86, "number": 16, "pages": 161408 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86p1408T" } } }
