What is the charge neutral point?

SUMMARY

The charge neutral point in trilayer graphene refers to the specific location where the charge on the surface of the conductor is zero. Unlike monolayer graphene, which has a Dirac point, trilayer graphene exhibits a bandgap and does not possess a Dirac point. Understanding this concept is crucial for comprehending the electronic properties of trilayer graphene and its applications in advanced materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of graphene structures (monolayer and trilayer)
  • Familiarity with electronic band structure concepts
  • Knowledge of surface charge distribution in conductors
  • Understanding of bandgap phenomena in materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the electronic properties of trilayer graphene
  • Study the implications of bandgap in graphene materials
  • Explore the differences between Dirac points in monolayer and trilayer graphene
  • Learn about charge distribution in various types of conductors
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, materials scientists, and physicists interested in the electronic properties of graphene and its applications in nanotechnology and advanced materials.

I have a question about definition of charge neutral point.
I`m reading some article about trilayer graphene, and this term, charge neutral point, is used in the article.
I googling this word, but I can`t find something which can tell me what it is.
In monolayer graphene, what i found by searching, it is equal to dirac point. But In trilayer there is no dirac point and it has some bandgap.

What is the carge neutral point in this?

Charge neutral point is the point at which the charge on the surface of a conductor is zero. This point is at the end of a conductor.
