Although the screening of an external electric field, strongly influences the electronic states of two-dimensional material stack, it is not well understood. Magnetotransport measurements of twisted double bilayer graphene uncovered the screening of atomic layers.

First-principles calculations were used to investigate the electronic properties of the SiC/GeC nanosheet (the thickness was about 8 Å). With no electric field (E-field), the SiC/GeC nanosheet was shown to have a direct bandgap of 1.90 eV. In the band structure, the valence band of the SiC/GeC nanosheet was mainly made up of C-p, while the conduction band was mainly made up of C-p, Si-p, and Ge-p, respectively. Application of the E-field to the SiC/GeC nanosheet was found to facilitate modulation of the bandgap, regularly reducing it to zero, which was linked to the direction and strength of the E-field. The major bandgap modulation was attributed to the migration of C-p, Si-p, and Ge-p orbitals around the Fermi level. Our conclusions might give some theoretical guidance for the development and application of the SiC/GeC nanosheet.

In this work, we investigate the role of an external electric field in modulating the spectrum and electronic structure behavior of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and its physical mechanisms. Through theoretical studies, it is found that the external electric field can drive the relative positions of the conduction band and valence band to some extent. The difference of electric field strength and direction can reduce the original conduction band, and through the Fermi energy level, the band is significantly influenced by the tunable electric field and also increases the density of states of the valence band passing through the Fermi level. Under these two effects, the valence and conduction bands can alternately fold, causing drastic changes in spectrum behavior. In turn, the plasmon spectrum of TBG varies from semiconductor to metal. The dielectric function of TBG can exhibit plasmon resonance in a certain range of infrared.

Abstract Silicene, a zero-gap semi-metallic advanced material, has received much attention due to its extraordinary electronic and optical characteristics, which could be used in plasmonics nano-devices. This material presenting as a tunable material without degrading its high carrier mobility. By applying the rigorous numerical techniques, the optical and electrical properties of silicene at high terahertz frequencies are calculated here. Beneath the influence of environmental effects such as the Fermi level, temperature, and external electric field, on the optical conductivity and refractive index of silicene are investigated using the tight-binding model. The effect of Fermi level from zero to 1 eV, external electric field from zero to 2.5 eV, and temperature from 5 to 400 K are investigated on the optical properties of silicene. One of the interesting features of Silicene is its adjustable bandgap, which we are present here.
