Layer Antiferromagnetic State in Bilayer Graphene : A First-Principle
Investigation

Yong Wang, Hao Wang, Jin-Hua Gao, Fu-Chun Zhang
The ground state of bilayer graphene is investigated by the density functional calculations with local spin density approximation. We find a ground state with layer antiferromagnetic ordering, which has been suggested by former studies based on simplified model. The calculations prove that the layer antiferromagnetic state (LAF) is stable even if the remote hopping and nonlocal Coulomb interaction are included. The gap of the LAF state is about 1.8 meV, comparable to the experimental value. The surface magnetism in BLG is of the order of $10^{-2} \mu_B /nm^2 $.
