Abstract:
In ordinary semiconductor bilayers, exciton condensates appear at total Landau-level filling factor nu{T}=1. We predict that similar states will occur in Bernal stacked graphene bilayers at many nonzero integer filling factors. For nu{T}=-3, 1 we find that the superfluid density of the exciton condensate vanishes and that a finite-temperature fluctuation-induced first order isotropic-smectic phase transition occurs when the layer densities are not balanced. These anomalous properties of bilayer graphene exciton condensates are due to the degeneracy of Landau levels with n=0 and n=1 orbital character.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
