▎ 摘  要

The electronic conductance of graphene-based bilayer flake systems reveals different quantum interference effects, such as Fabry-Perot resonances and sharp Fano antiresonances on account of competing electronic paths through the device. These properties may be exploited to obtain spin-polarized currents when the same nanostructure is deposited above a ferromagnetic insulator. Here, we study how the spin-dependent conductance is affected when a time-dependent gate potential is applied to the bilayer flake. Following a Tien-Gordon formalism, we explore how to modulate the transport properties of such systems via appropriate choices of the ac-field gate parameters. The presence of an oscillating field opens the possibility of tuning the original antiresonances for a large set of field parameters. We show that interference patterns can be partially or fully removed by the time-dependent gate voltage. The results are reflected in the corresponding weighted spin polarization, which can reach maximum values for a given spin component. We found that differential conductance maps as functions of bias and gate potentials show interference patterns for different ac-field parameter configurations. The proposed bilayer graphene flake systems may be used as a frequency detector in the THz range.
