Si-doped Defect in Monolayer Graphene: Magnetic Quantization

We explore the rich and unique magnetic quantization of Si-doped graphene defect systems with various concentrations and configurations using the generalized tight-binding model. This model takes into account simultaneously the non-uniform bond lengths, site energies and hopping integrals, and a uniform perpendicular magnetic field (${B_z\hat z}$). The magnetic quantized Landau levels (LLs) are classified into four different kinds based on the probability distributions and oscillation modes. The main characteristics of LLs are clearly reflected in the magneto-optical selection rules which cover the dominating ${Δ\,n=|n^v-n^c|=0}$, the coexistent ${Δ\,n=0}$ $\&$ ${Δ\,n=1}$, and the specific ${Δ\,n=1}$. These rules for inter-LLs excitations come from the non-equivalence or equivalence of the A$_i$ and B$_i$ sublattices in a supercell.

Geometry- and field-diversified electronic and optical properties in bilayer silicene

The generalized tight-binding model has been developed to thoroughly explore the essential electronic and optical properties of AB-bt bilayer silicene. They are greatly diversified by the buckled structure, stacking configuration, intralayer and interlayer hopping integrals, spin-orbital couplings; electric and magnetic fields (${E_z\hat z}$ $\&$ ${B_z\hat z}$). There exist the linear, parabolic and constant-energy-loop dispersions, multi-valley band structure and semiconductor-metal transition as $E_z$ varies. The $E_z$-dependent magnetic quantization exhibits the rich and unique Landau Levels (LLs) and magneto-optical spectra. The LLs have the lower degeneracy, valley-created localization centers, unusual distributions of quantum numbers, well-behaved and abnormal energy spectra in $B_z$-dependences, and the absence of anti-crossing behavior. A lot of pronounced magneto-absorption peaks occur at a very narrow frequency range, being attributed to diverse excitation categories. They have no specific selection rules except that the Dirac-cone band structures are driven by the critical electric fields. The optical gaps are reduced by $E_z$, but enhanced by $B_z$, in which the threshold channel might dramatically change in the formed case. The above-mentioned characteristics are in sharp contrast with those of layered graphenes.
