The most widely accepted theoretical model to describe charge carriers in bilayer graphene is “massive Dirac fermions”, characterized by a nearly parabolic band pair touching each other at the charge-neutrality point. In this talk, I will introduce angle-resolved photoemission studies on quasi-freestanding bilayer graphene, which show an unexpected electronic spectrum, consisting of both massive and massless Dirac fermions. The latter has a unique band topology with a chiral pseudospin texture, and its origin will be discussed in terms of symmetry breaking induced by a native imperfection of bilayer graphene. |
