The Effect of Structure on the Electronic Structure of Graphenez
Number of layersMonolayer Bilayer Triple-layer Bulk graphite
The electronic structure rapidly evolves with the number of layers:z
Monolayer and bilayer graphene: zero-gap semiconductors; with one type of electron and one type of hole For three or more layers: several charge carriers; the conduction and valence bands overlapping More than 10 layers: approaching the 3D limit of graphiteAK Geim et al., Nature Mater. 6 (2007) 183 T Ohta et al., Science 313 (2005) 951 B Partoens et al., Phys.
