A correlated-electron phase was observed at low temperatures in suspended graphene bilayers with high carrier mobilities. The nematic phase transition in electronic liquids, driven by Coulomb interactions, represents a new class of strongly correlated electronic ground states. We studied suspended samples of bilayer graphene, annealed so that it achieves very high quasiparticle mobilities (greater than 106 square centimers per volt-second). Bilayer graphene is a truly two-dimensional material…

Anomalous Spectral Features of a Neutral Bilayer Graphene
TLDR
By studying undoped exfoliated bilayer graphene with ARPES, two essential aspects of its many-body physics are revealed: the electron-phonon scattering rate has an anisotropic k-dependence and the type of electronic liquid is non-Fermi liquid.
Measurements of Interaction-Driven States in Monolayer and Bilayer Graphene
In materials systems with flat energy bands and limited disorder, interactions among electrons dominate and can dramatically alter physical behavior. Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) offer…
Persistent current states in bilayer graphene
We argue that at finite carrier density and large displacement fields, bilayer graphene is prone to $\ell =0$ and $\ell = 1$ Pomeranchuk Fermi surface instabilities. The broken symmetries are driven…
Band gap and correlated phenomena in bilayer and trilayer graphene
Graphene and its few layer cousins are unique two-dimensional (2D) systems with extraordinary electrical, thermal, mechanical and optical properties, and they have become both fantastic platforms for…
Evidence for a spontaneous gapped state in ultraclean bilayer graphene
TLDR
A bimodal distribution of minimum conductivities at the charge neutrality point is observed in single and double-gated bilayer graphene devices that have both high mobility and low extrinsic doping.
Transport spectroscopy of symmetry-broken insulating states in bilayer graphene.
TLDR
Transport measurements in ultraclean double-gated bilayer graphene are reported and source-drain bias is used as a spectroscopic tool to resolve a gap of ∼2 meV at the charge neutrality point, which represents the firstSpectroscopic mapping of the ground states in bilayers graphene in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields.
Electronic transport in bilayer graphene
Abstract: Electronic transport in bilayer graphene is studied in this chapter and the fundamental physics and conceptual issues are described. A model Hamiltonian system is described and the method…
Electronic ground state in bilayer graphene with realistic Coulomb interactions
Both insulating and conducting electronic behaviors have been experimentally seen in clean bilayer graphene samples at low temperature, and there is still no consensus on the nature of the…
Bilayer graphene with parallel magnetic field and twisting: Phases and phase transitions in a highly tunable Dirac system
The effective theory for bilayer graphene (BLG), subject to parallel/in-plane magnetic fields, is derived. With a sizable magnetic field the trigonal warping becomes irrelevant, and one ends up with…

TLDR
The tight-binding model is used to describe optical and transport properties including the integer quantum Hall effect, and the also discusses orbital magnetism, phonons and the influence of strain on electronic properties.

Broken-Symmetry States in Doubly Gated Suspended Bilayer Graphene
TLDR
The underlying order of the various broken-symmetry states in bilayer graphene suspended between top and bottom gate electrodes was investigated and the order parameter was deduced by controllably breaking the spin and sublattice symmetries.
Many-body instability of Coulomb interacting bilayer graphene: Renormalization group approach
Low-energy electronic structure of (unbiased and undoped) bilayer graphene consists of two Fermi points with quadratic dispersions if trigonal warping is ignored. We show that short-range (or…

Dynamical screening and excitonic instability in bilayer graphene.
TLDR
A controlled theory of this instability for realistic dynamically screened Coulomb interactions is developed, with full account of the dynamically generated ultraviolet cutoff, making the excitonic instability readily observable.
Spontaneous inversion symmetry breaking in graphene bilayers
Electrons most often organize into Fermi-liquid states in which electron-electron interactions play an inessential role. A well known exception is the case of one-dimensional (1D) electron systems…

Approaching ballistic transport in suspended graphene.
TLDR
This work shows that the fluctuations are significantly reduced in suspended graphene samples and reports low-temperature mobility approaching 200,000 cm2 V-1 s-1 for carrier densities below 5 x 109 cm-2, which cannot be attained in semiconductors or non-suspended graphene.

It is shown that in the ferromagnetic phase the two planes have unequal magnetization and that the electronic density is holelike in one plane and electronlike in the other.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that the electronic gap of a graphene bilayer can be controlled externally by applying a gate bias and can be changed from zero to midinfrared energies by using fields of less, approximately < 1 V/nm, below the electric breakdown of SiO2.
The electronic properties of graphene
Graphene is the first example of truly two‐dimensional crystals – it's just one layer of carbon atoms. It turns out that graphene is a gapless semiconductor with unique electronic properties…
