Persistent current and orbital magnetization along a valley-contrasting junction in bilayer graphene in a magnetic field (opens in new tab)

Author(s): K. ShizuyaIn a magnetic field, bilayer graphene hosts an octet of pseudo-zero-mode (PZM) electron levels nearly degenerate in orbitals $n=(0,1)$, valleys, and spins. They split in valleys by electrostatic gating. In gated bilayer graphene, in which the interlayer bias is set up to flip sign across a line, one…[Phys. Rev. B 113, 235422] Published Tue Jun 16, 2026
