Abstract

Quasienergy spectrum of electrons in biased bigraphene subjected to the linear polarized high-frequency electromagnetic radiation has been derived. Quasienergy bands of ac-driven bigraphene have been investigated. Dynamical appearing of the saddle points in band structure of biased bigraphene and energy gap modification have been predicted. Electromagnetic field equation has been written using obtained quasienergy spectrum. The solution corresponding to the soliton-like electromagnetic wave has been obtained. The conditions of soliton-like wave generation in ac-driven bigraphene have been discussed.
