Abstract
The paper presents a computational study of the ground-state magnetic phases of a selected bilayer graphene nanoflake in external electric field and magnetic field. The electric field has parallel and perpendicular component while the magnetic field is oriented in plane. The system consists of two rectangular layers having armchair edges and zigzag terminations with Bernal stacking. The theoretical model is based on a tight binding Hamiltonian with Hubbard term. The magnetic phase diagram involving the total spin is constructed, showing the stability areas of phases with total spin values equal to 0 and 1. A significant stability range of antiferromagnetic, layer-like arrangements is found and extensively discussed. The possibility of switching between nonmagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic phases with both components of external electric field is demonstrated, being a manifestation of a magnetoelectric effect. The influence of magnetic field on the phase diagrams is analysed.
