Orbital Diamagnetism of Weak-doped Bilayer Graphene in Magnetic Field
We investigate the orbital diamagnetism of a weak-doped bilayer graphene (BLG) in spatially smoothly varying magnetic field and obtain the general analytic expression of the orbital susceptibility of BLG, with finite wave number and Fermi energy, at zero temperature. We find that the magnetic field screening factor of BLG is dependent with the wave number, which results in a more complicated screening behavior compared with that of monolayer graphene (MLG). We also study the induced magnetization, electric current in BLG, under nonuniform magnetic field, and find that they are qualitatively different from that in MLG and two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). However, similar to the MLG, the magnetic object placed above BLG is repelled by a diamagnetic force from BLG, approximately equivalent to a force produced by its mirror image on the other side of BLG with a reduced amplitude dependent with the typical length of the systems. BLG shows crossover behaviors in the responses to the external magnetic field as the intermediate between MLG and 2DEG.
