Abstract
We present measurements of the electronic compressibility, , of bilayer graphene in both zero and finite magnetic fields up to 14 T, and as a function of both the carrier density and electric field perpendicular to the graphene sheet. The low-energy hyperbolic band structure of bilayer graphene is clearly revealed in the data, as well as a sizable asymmetry between the conduction and valence bands. A sharp increase in near zero density is observed for increasing electric field strength, signaling the controlled opening of a gap between these bands. At high magnetic fields, broad Landau level (LL) oscillations are observed, directly revealing the doubled degeneracy of the lowest LL and allowing for a determination of the disorder broadening of the levels.
