Electronic structure of partial dislocations in bilayer graphene — •Dominik Weckbecker and Sam Shallcross — Lehrstuhl für theoretische Festkörperphysik, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Staudtstr. 7 B2, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

We present electronic structure calculations for the partial dislocations recently imaged in bilayer graphene on SiC [1,2]. We use an effective field method which allows us to treat both a realistic experimental situation of many disordered dislocations in a sample area of a square micrometer as well as model systems in which the dislocations are ordered. We find near the Dirac point a charge pooling on the bilayer graphene segments, as well as a curious energy dependent localization on the partial lines and partial nodes. We consider the presence of an external out-of-plane magnetic field and identify current circulations associated with partial lines.
