We study quasi-particle transmission through an $n $-$p$ junction in a graphene irradiated by an electromagnetic field (EF). In the absence of EF the electronic spectrum of undoped graphene is gapless, and one may expect the perfect…

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…
