摘要：
We predict that neutral graphene bilayers are pseudospin magnets in which the charge density contribution from each valley and spin spontaneously shifts to one of the two layers. The band structure of this system is characterized by a momentum-space vortex, which is responsible for unusual competition between band and kinetic energies, leading to symmetry breaking in the vortex core. We discuss the possibility of realizing a pseudospin version of ferromagnetic metal spintronics in graphene bilayers based on hysteresis associated with this broken symmetry.
