Abstract
We study the contribution of s and p orbitals on the Pauli magnetic susceptibility (PMS) and density of state (DOS) of the following three structures (1) bilayer graphene (2) bilayer boron-nitride (BN) and (3) bilayer graphene-BN within a two-band tight-binding Harrison Hamiltonian and the Green's function technique. It is shown that in all three cases, the contribution of s and px or py orbitals have no states around the Fermi level, while for bilayer graphene and graphene-BN the total DOS and DOS of pz orbital appear to be a linear function around this level. We show explicitly that for bilayer BN the contribution of pz orbital does not have states around the Fermi level, because of ionization energy difference between the boron (B) and nitrogen (N) atoms. We find that the bandwidth of s, px or py is more extension than case of pz orbital as a result of the Van-Hove singularities in the DOS. This leads to consideration of the PMS in two, low and high temperature, regions.
