X-ray edge singularity of bilayer graphene

The X-ray edge singularity of bilayer graphene is studied by generalizing the path integral approach based on local action which was employed for monolayer graphene. In sharp contrast to the case of monolayer graphene, the bilayer graphene is found to exhibit the edge singularity even at half-filling and its characteristics are determined by interlayer coupling. At finite bias the singular behaviors sensitively depend on the relative magnitude of fermi energy and applied bias, which is due to the peculiar shape of energy band at finite bias.
