Abstract

We report the observation of the resonant excitation of edge photocurrents in bilayer graphene subjected to terahertz radiation and a magnetic field. The resonantly excited edge photocurrent is observed for both interband (at low carrier densities) and intraband (at high densities) transitions between Landau levels (LL). While the intraband LL transitions can be traced to the classical cyclotron resonance (CR) and produce strong resonant features, the interband-LL resonances have quantum nature and lead to the weaker features in the measured photocurrent spectra. The magnitude and polarization properties of the observed features agree with the semiclassical theory of the intraband edge photogalvanic effect, including its Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations at low temperatures.
