Abstract

Employing the Kernel Polynomial method (KPM), we study the electronic properties of the graphene bilayers in the presence of diagonal disorder, within the tight-binding approximation. The KPM method enables us to calculate local density of states (LDOS) without need to exactly diagonalize the Hamiltonian. We use the geometrical averaging of the LDOS's at different lattice sites as a criterion to distinguish the localized states from extended ones. We find that bilayer graphene undergoes Anderson metal-insulator transition at a critical value of disorder strength.
