摘要
Gap opening in graphene is usually discussed in terms of a semiconductinglike spectrum, where the appearance of a finite gap at the Dirac point is accompanied by a finite mass for the fermions. In this paper we propose a gap scenario from graphene which preserves the massless characters of the carriers. This approach explains recent spectroscopic measurements carried out in epitaxially grown graphene, ranging from photoemission to optical transmission.
