When two graphene layers are Bernal stacked as in graphite, the two low-energy bands can be described by massive Dirac fermions and it has been demonstrated that doping such a graphene bilayer not only shifts its chemical potential, but also opens up a band gap [1]. We dope bilayer graphene to populate the second conduction band and measure quasiparticle interferences (QPI) with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.
We grow bilayer graphene on Ir(111) with a combination of chemical vapor deposition (creating a monolayer of high perfection) and physical vapor deposition (forming a second graphene layer at the interface). Subsequently, Cs is intercalated between the bilayer and the metal underneath.
We observe complex standing waves patterns at various energies and obtain the scattering vectors responsible for QPI using a Fourier transform analysis. We compare our results with simulations based on the T-matrix theory as well as tight-binding calculations and explore the origin of the suppression of certain scattering processes.
