▎ 摘  要

We numerically study the thermoelectric transport in AB-and AA-stacked bilayer graphene in the presence of a strong magnetic field and disorder. In the AB-stacked case, we find that the thermoelectric conductivities display different asymptotic behaviors, depending on the ratio between the temperature and the width of the disorder-broadened Landau levels (LLs), similar to those of monolayer graphene. In the high temperature regime, the transverse thermoelectric conductivity alpha(xy) saturates to a universal value 5.54k(B)e/h at the center of each LL, and displays a linear temperature dependence at low temperatures. The calculated Nernst signal has a peak with a height of the order of k(B)/e, and the thermopower changes sign at the central LL. We attribute this unique behavior to the coexistence of particle and hole LLs. In the AA-stacked bilayer case, it is found that the thermoelectric transport properties are consistent with the behavior of a band insulator. The obtained results demonstrate the sensitivity of the thermoelectric conductivity to the band gap near the Dirac point.
