- Abstract
- Ever since the novel quantum Hall effect in bilayer graphene was discovered, and explained by a Berry phase of 2π, it has been widely accepted that the low-energy electronic wave function in this system is described by a nontrivial Berry phase of 2π, different from the zero phase of a conventional two-dimensional electron gas. Here, we show that (i) the relevant Berry phase for bilayer graphene is not different from that for a conventional two-dimensional electron gas (as expected, given that Berry phase is only meaningful modulo 2π), and (ii) what is actually observed in the quantum Hall measurements is not the absolute value of the Berry phase but the pseudospin winding number. © 2011 American Physical Society.
