abstract

We show that in gapped bilayer graphene, quasiparticle tunneling and the corresponding Berry phase can be controlled such that it exhibits features of single layer graphene such as Klein tunneling. The Berry phase is detected by a high-quality Fabry-P\'{e}rot interferometer based on bilayer graphene. By raising the Fermi energy of the charge carriers, we find that the Berry phase can be continuously tuned from $2\pi$ down to $0.68\pi$ in gapped bilayer graphene, in contrast to the constant Berry phase of $2\pi$ in pristine bilayer graphene. Particularly, we observe a Berry phase of $\pi$, the standard value for single layer graphene. As the Berry phase decreases, the corresponding transmission probability of charge carriers at normal incidence clearly demonstrates a transition from anti-Klein tunneling to nearly perfect Klein tunneling.
