Optical properties of biased bilayer graphene due to gap parameter effects

Abstract

We address the optical conductivity of undoped bilayer graphene in the presence of a finite bias voltage at finite temperature. The effects of gap parameter and stacking type on optical conductivity are discussed in the context of tight binding model Hamiltonian. Green’s function approach has been implemented to find the behavior of optical conductivity of bilayer graphene within linear response theory. We have found the frequency dependence of optical conductivity for different values of gap parameter and bias voltage. Also the dependence of optical conductivity on the temperature has been investigated in details. A peak appears in the plot of optical conductivity versus frequency for different values of temperatures and bias voltage. Furthermore we find the frequency position of broad peak in optical conductivity goes to higher values with increase of gap parameter for both bernal and simple stacked bilayer graphenes.
