We demonstrate that for gapped bilayer graphene, the nonlinear nature of the screening of an external disorder potential and the resulting inhomogeneity of the electron liquid are crucial for describing the electronic compressibility. In…
We report on a double moir\'e system consisting of four graphene layers, where the top and bottom pairs form small-twist-angle bilayer graphene, and the middle interface has a large rotational mismatch. This system shows clear signatures of…

When graphene is close to charge neutrality, its energy landscape is highly inhomogeneous, forming a sea of electron-like and hole-like puddles, which determine the properties of graphene at low carrier density. However, the details of the…
Spontaneous symmetry-breaking, where the ground state of a system has lower symmetry than the underlying Hamiltonian, is ubiquitous in physics. It leads to multiply-degenerate ground states, each with a different "broken" symmetry labeled…
It is pointed out that point defects on graphene are strongly correlated and can not be treated as independent scatters. In particular, for large on-site defect potential, it is shown that defects induce an impurity band with density of…

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…
Bilayer graphene has two non-equivalent sublattices and, therefore, the same adatom impurity can manifest in spectrally distinct ways-sharp versus broad resonances near the charge neutrality-depending on the sublattice it adsorbs at.…
We demonstrate that the electronic gap of a graphene bilayer can be controlled externally by applying a gate bias. From the magneto-transport data (Shubnikov-de Haas measurements of the cyclotron mass), and using a tight binding model, we…
We investigate gated trilayer graphene partially devoid of outer layers and forming a system of two trilayers connected by a single layer of graphene. A difference in the stacking order of trilayers leads to the appearance of gapless…
