含重Dirac费米子的石墨烯超晶格的电子结构

Electronic structure of a graphene superlattice with massive Dirac fermions

Jonas R. F. Lima

摘要:

我们利用有效的狄拉克方程从理论上研究了石墨烯基超晶格的电子和输运性质。超晶格由施加在沉积在衬底上的单层石墨烯上的周期性电势组成,该周期性电势在其电子结构中打开$2Δ$的能隙。我们发现,在一定条件下,电子能带结构中出现了额外的狄拉克点,从而有可能使导带和价带之间的间隙闭合。通过改变周期势,可以在$0\leq E_g \leq 2Δ$范围内调节能隙$E_g$.我们分析了接触点附近的低能电子结构,发现有效费米速度具有很强的各向异性,并依赖于能隙。我们表明,额外的狄拉克点在这里获得的行为不同,以前研究的系统相比。

英文摘要:

We study the electronic and transport properties of a graphene-based superlattice theoretically by using an effective Dirac equation. The superlattice consists of a periodic potential applied on a single-layer graphene deposited on a substrate that opens an energy gap of $2Δ$ in its electronic structure. We find that extra Dirac points appear in the electronic band structure under certain conditions, so it is possible to close the gap between the conduction and valence minibands. We show that the energy gap $E_g$ can be tuned in the range $0\leq E_g \leq 2Δ$ by changing the periodic potential. We analyze the low energy electronic structure around the contact points and find that the effective Fermi velocity in very anisotropic and depends on the energy gap. We show that the extra Dirac points obtained here behave differently compared to previously studied systems.
