Abstract

Utilizing the Baym-Kadanoff formalism with the polarization function calculated in the random phase approximation, the dynamics of the ν=0\nu=0 quantum Hall state in bilayer graphene is analyzed. Two phases with nonzero energy gap, the ferromagnetic and layer asymmetric ones, are found. The phase diagram in the plane (Δ~0,B)(\tilde{\Delta}_0,B), where Δ~0\tilde{\Delta}_0 is a top-bottom gates voltage imbalance, is described. It is shown that the energy gaps in these phases scale linearly, $\Delta E\sim 10 B[T]K, with magnetic field. The comparison of these results with recent experiments in bilayer graphene is presented.
