  • We study the atomic collapse phenomenon in $K$ and $K'$ valley of gapped graphene. Bound states induced by Coulomb impurity in the gap turn into atomic collapse resonances as the charge increases beyond the supercritical charge $Z_c$. $Z_c$ increases sublinear with the band gap $Δ$. The atomic collapse resonances result in peaks in the LDOS at the same energies in $K$ and $K'$ valley, but the strong (weak) LDOS peaks in $K$ valley are weak (strong) LDOS peaks in $K'$ valley reminiscent of pseudospin polarization phenomenon. From a spatial LDOS analysis of the atomic collapse resonance states, we assign specific atomic orbitals to the atomic collapse resonances. Remarkably, the two $p$ atomic orbital atomic collapse states are no longer degenerate and splits into two having lobes in different directions in the graphene plane.
