Electron interactions in undoped bilayer graphene lead to instability of the gapless state, `which-layer' symmetry breaking, and energy gap opening at the Dirac point. In contrast to single layer graphene, the bilayer system exhibits…
When two 2D electron gas layers, each at Landau level filling factor $\nu=1/2$, are close together a condensate of interlayer excitons emerges at low temperature. Although the excitonic phase is qualitatively well understood, the incoherent…
