Abstract

We show that in bilayer graphene it is possible to achieve a very restrictive confinement of the massless Dirac fermions zero-modes by using inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Specifically, we show that, using a suitable nonuniform magnetic fields, the wave function may be restricted to a specific region of the space, being forbidden all transmission probability to the contiguous regions. This allows to construct mesoscopic structures in bilayer graphene by magnetic fields configurations.
