Angle-resolved photoemission and X-ray diffraction experiments show that multilayer epitaxial graphene grown on the SiC(000-1) surface is a new form of carbon that is composed of effectively isolated graphene sheets. The unique rotational stacking of these films cause adjacent graphene layers to electronically decouple leading to a set of nearly independent linearly dispersing bands (Dirac cones) at the graphene K-point. Each cone corresponds to an individual macro-scale graphene sheet in a multilayer stack where AB-stacked sheets can be considered as low density faults.

Materials with triply-degenerate nodal points in their low-energy electronic spectrum produce crystalline-symmetry-enforced three-fold fermions, which conceptually lie between the two-fold Weyl and four-fold Dirac fermions. Here we show how a silver-
based Dirac semimetal BaAgAs realizes three-fold fermions through our first-principles calculations combined with a low-energy effective $mathbf{k.p}$ model Hamiltonian analysis. BaAgAs is shown to harbor triply-degenerate nodal points, which lie on its $C_{3}$ rotation axis, and are protected by the $C_{6v}$($C_2otimes C_{3v}$) point-group symmetry in the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects. When the SOC is turned on, BaAgAs transitions into a nearly-ideal Dirac semimetal state with a pair of Dirac nodes lying on the $C_{3}$ rotation axis. We show that breaking inversion symmetry in the BaAgAs$_{1-x}$P$_x$ alloy yields a clean and tunable three-fold fermion semimetal. Systematic relaxation of other symmetries in BaAgAs generates a series of other topological phases. BaAgAs materials thus provide an ideal platform for exploring tunable topological properties associated with a variety of different fermionic excitations.
A perpendicular electric field breaks the layer symmetry of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene, resulting in the opening of a band gap and a modification of the effective mass of the charge carriers. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy,
we examine standing waves in the local density of states of bilayer graphene formed by scattering from a bilayer/trilayer boundary. The quasiparticle interference properties are controlled by the bilayer graphene band structure, allowing a direct local probe of the evolution of the band structure of bilayer graphene as a function of electric field. We extract the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure model tight binding parameters as $gamma_0 = 3.1$ eV, $gamma_1 = 0.39$ eV, and $gamma_4 = 0.22$ eV.
We report the infrared transmission measurement on electrically gated twisted bilayer graphene. The optical absorption spectrum clearly manifests the dramatic changes such as the splitting of inter-linear-band absorption step, the shift of inter-van
Hove singularity transition peak, and the emergence of very strong intra-valence (intra-conduction) band transition. These anomalous optical behaviors demonstrate consistently the non-rigid band structure modification created by the ion-gel gating through the layer-dependent Coulomb screening. We propose that this screening-driven band modification is an universal phenomenon that persists to other bilayer crystals in general, establishing the electrical gating as a versatile technique to engineer the band structures and to create new types of optical absorptions that can be exploited in electro-optical device application.
When a crystal becomes thinner and thinner to the atomic level, peculiar phenomena discretely depending on its layer-numbers (n) start to appear. The symmetry and wave functions strongly reflect the layer-numbers and stacking order, which brings us a
potential of realizing new properties and functions that are unexpected in either bulk or simple monolayer. Multilayer WTe2 is one such example exhibiting unique ferroelectricity and non-linear transport properties related to the antiphase stacking and Berry-curvature dipole. Here we investigate the electronic band dispersions of multilayer WTe2 (2-5 layers), by performing laser-based micro-focused angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on exfoliated-flakes that are strictly sorted by n and encapsulated by graphene. We clearly observed the insulator-semimetal transition occurring between 2- and 3-layers, as well as the 30-70 meV spin-splitting of valence bands manifesting in even n as a signature of stronger structural asymmetry. Our result fully demonstrates the possibility of the large energy-scale band and spin manipulation through the finite n stacking procedure.
Chiral graphene nanoribbons are extremely interesting structures due to their low bandgaps and potential development of spin-polarized edge states. Here, we study their band structure on low work function silver surfaces and assess the effect of charge transfer on their properties.
