Abstract:	Van der Waals bilayer systems are promoting unparalleled advance in optoelectronics. Much of their impact resorts to the exotic quantum properties of quasiparticle physics. They arise after manipulating the electronic interlayer hopping integral (t⊥). However, it remains unclear how this interaction affects the formation of higher-order quasiparticles. In this work, we investigate the influence of t⊥ on the formation of charged quasiparticles in bilayer graphene nanoribbons using a tight binding model with lattice relaxation terms. The results show the existence of two distinct spinless carriers with 2e charge, lattice deformation, and intragap levels. These quasiparticles are characterized as bipolarons. Depending on the magnitude of t⊥, a transition between the configurations occurs for t⊥ ≈ 0.52 eV. Moreover, the bipolaron binding energy (BE) is determined. Results show that interlayer bipolarons are always more stable than the usual carrier, i.e., two independent polarons. Moreover, the stability degree can be regulated with t⊥, leading to variations up to 58% in BE. Therefore, our findings reveal that the population of polarons and bipolarons are potentially controllable via transversal mechanical stress. Our work reveals an exciting pathway to envision new strain-tuneable nanoelectronics using graphene nanoribbon bilayers.
