The electronic and optical properties of monolayer and bilayer graphene are investigated to verify the effects of interlayer interactions and external magnetic field. Monolayer graphene exhibits linear bands in the low-energy region. Then the interlayer interactions in bilayers change these bands into two pairs of parabolic bands, where the lower pair is slightly overlapped and the occupied states are asymmetric with respect to the unoccupied ones. The characteristics of zero-field electronic structures are directly reflected in the Landau levels. In monolayer and bilayer graphene, these levels can be classified into one and two groups, respectively. With respect to the optical transitions between the Landau levels, bilayer graphene possesses much richer spectral features in comparison with monolayers, such as four kinds of absorption channels and double-peaked absorption lines. The explicit wave functions can further elucidate the frequency-dependent absorption rates and the complex optical selection rules. These numerical calculations would be useful in identifying the optical measurements on graphene layers.

The transverse resonant tunneling transport and electric field domain formation in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices were investigated in a strong tilted magnetic field. The magnetic field component parallel to structure layers causes intensive tunneling transition between Landau levels with Δn≠0, resulting in the considerable "inhomogeneous" broadening of intersubband tunneling resonance as well as in the shift of the resonance toward higher electric fields. This leads to noticeable changes of the I-V characteristics of the superlattice, namely to smoothing of the periodic NDC structure on plateau-like regions caused by formation of the electric field domains and to the shift of the plateaus toward the higher applied voltage. The predicted behavior of the I-V characteristics of the structures in magnetic field was found experimentally.
