We calculate the finite-frequency conductivity of bilayer graphene with a relative twist between the layers. The low frequency response at zero doping shows a flat conductivity with value twice that of the monolayer case and at higher…

The transport properties of a bilayer graphene are studied theoretically within a self-consistent Born approximation. The electronic spectrum is composed of $k$-linear dispersion in the low-energy region and $k$-square dispersion as in an…

We analyze the change in the resistance of a junction between a diffusive ferromagnetic (F) wire and normal metal electrode, due to the onset of superconductivity (S) in the latter and a double Andreev scattering process leading to a…

Because the valleys in the band structure of graphene are related by time-reversal symmetry, electrons from one valley are reflected as holes from the other valley at the junction with a superconductor. We show how this Andreev reflection…
