contents We construct Sierpinski-carpet (SC) based on AA or AB bilayer graphene by atom vacancies, namely, SC-AA and SC-AB, to investigate the effects of interlayer coupling on the electronic properties of fractals. Compared with monolayer graphene SC, their density of states have similar features, such as Van-Hove singularities and edge states corresponding to the central peaks near zero energy, but remarkable energy broadening of edge states emerges in SC-AA(AB). Calculated conductance spectrum shows that the conductance fluctuations still hold the Hausdorff fractal dimension behavior even with the interlayer coupling. Thus, the high correlation between quantum conductance and fractal geometry dimension is not affected by the interlayer coupling in bilayer graphene SC. We further reveal the quasi-eigenstates in fractal-like pressure-modulated bilayer graphene, namely, SC-pAA and SC-pAB. Numerical results show that the density of states of SC-pAA(pAB) show an asymptotic behavior to those of SC-AA(AB) especially for high energy quasi-eigenstates. Within a certain energy range, stronger pressure can lead to stronger localization, forming an efficient fractal space.
