Tuning the electronic structure of artificial graphene with potential modulation — •Pilkwang Kim and Cheol-Hwan Park — Department of Physics, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-747, Korea

Among the many different directions of research for tuning the electronic properties of massless Dirac fermions residing in materials like graphene, one of the promising candidates is the artificial graphene system where a conventional two-dimensional electron gas is modulated by external periodic potential, as first predicted theoretically [1,2]. Recently, experimentalists have confirmed the existence of massless Dirac fermions originating from metallic surface states [3,4]. In this presentation, we discuss our theoretical study on the possibility of tuning the electronic properties of massless Dirac fermions residing in 2DEG by exploiting the external potential degree of freedom. This work was supported by Korean NRF funded by MSIP (Grant No. NRF-2013R1A1A1076141).
