Interface Landau levels in graphene monolayer-bilayer junction

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-05-19 v1

Abstract

Electronic structure of graphene monolayer-bilayer junction in a magnetic field is studied within an effective-mass approximation. The energy spectrum is characterized by interface Landau levels, i.e., the locally flat bands appearing near the boundary region, resulting in a series of characteristic peaks in the local density of states. Their energies are independent of boundary types such as zigzag or armchair. In the atomic scale, the local density of states shows a Kekul\'{e} pattern due to the valley mixing in the armchair boundary, while does not in the zigzag boundary.
