Mid-infrared (mid-IR) emission resonating with molecular vibration is one of the important pathways to deliver heat energy required for various chemical reactions. However, its practical applications have been limited due to the lack of…

Bilayer graphene in a magnetic field supports eight zero-energy Landau levels, which, as a tunable band gap develops, evolve into two nearly-degenerate quartets separated by the band gap. A close look is made into the properties of such an…
