Electronic localization is numerically studied in disordered bilayer graphene with an electric-field induced energy gap. Bilayer graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, in which an energy gap can be opened and controlled by an external…
We show that electron states in disordered graphene, with an onsite potential that induces inter-valley scattering, are localised for all energies at disorder as small as 1/6 of the band width of clean graphene. We clarify that, in order…
We analyze the electronic properties of bilayer graphene with Bernal stacking and a low concentration of adatoms. Assuming that the host bilayer lies on top of a substrate, we consider the case where impurities are adsorbed only on the…

We study the effect of the edge disorder on the conductance of the graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). We find that only very modest edge disorder is sufficient to induce the conduction energy gap in the otherwise metallic GNRs and to lift any…
