Úrdráttur

It is shown theoretically that the renormalization of the electron energy spectrum of bilayer graphene with a strong high-frequency electromagnetic field (dressing field) results in the Lifshitz transition—the abrupt change in the topology of the Fermi surface near the band edge. This effect substantially depends on the polarization of the field: The linearly polarized dressing field induces the Lifshitz transition from the quadruply connected Fermi surface to the doubly connected one, whereas the circularly polarized field induces the multicritical point where the four different Fermi topologies may coexist. As a consequence, the discussed phenomenon creates a physical basis to control the electronic properties of bilayer graphene with light.
