Evolution of quasi-bound states in the circular n–p junction of bilayer graphene under magnetic field

Abstract Electron in gapless bilayer graphene can form quasi-bound states when a circular symmetric potential is created in bilayer graphene. These quasi-bound states can be adjusted by tuning the radius and strength of the potential barrier. We investigate the evolution of quasi-bound states spectr...
