Deriving DOS of Bilayer Graphene Under Electric Field

Click For Summary
To derive the density of states (DOS) of bilayer graphene under an external electric field, a common method is to use the Lorentzian broadened approximation. The formula involves summing over the energies obtained from the Hamiltonian, applying a small broadening parameter. This approach ensures that the DOS reflects the correct energy levels. While the method is straightforward, there may not be a definitive check for accuracy. Overall, using this approximation should yield a reliable DOS for bilayer graphene in the specified conditions.

Hi all. Is there any place where I can check how to derive the DOS of bilayer graphene subject to an external field. I have got the Hamiltonian right and solved the eenrgies but then I am not sure how to obtain the DOS right..


Thanks

Easiest thing to do is lorentzian broadened approximation.

pi*rho(E)~ sum_i g/((E-e_i)**2+g**2)

For some small g (the broadening), where e_i are the energies which you already have. If those are correct the dos should look correct, but I don't actually have a check for you, sorry. Also, apologies about the typesetting, I'm typing this on my phone. Cheers.
