Graphene layers are known to stack in two stable configurations, namely ABA or ABC stacking, with drastically distinct electronic properties. Unlike the ABA stacking, little has been done to experimentally investigate the electronic…
Using first-principles methods, we show that an applied perpendicular electric field $E$ breaks the inversion symmetry of AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG), thereby slightly mixing the two in-plane high-energy optical vibrations ($E_g$ and…
Effect of electric field on the band structures of graphene/BN and BN/BN bilayers is investigated within the framework of density functional theory. A relatively large degree of modulation is predicted for the graphene/BN bilayer. The…

In this article we study the static polarization in ABC-stacked multilayer graphene. Since the density of states diverges for these systems if the number of layers exceeds three, screening effects are expected to be important. In the random…
We calculate the electronic band structure of ABA-stacked trilayer graphene in the presence of external gates, using a self-consistent Hartree approximation to take account of screening. In the absence of a gate potential, there are…
Screening is a ubiquitous phenomenon through which the polarization of bound or mobile charges tends to reduce the strengths of electric fields inside materials. Here we show how photoexcitation can be used as a knob to transform…

How atoms acquire three-dimensional bulk character is one of the fundamental questions in materials science. Before addressing this question, how atomic layers become a bulk crystal might give a hint to the answer. While atomically thin…
