A p-n junction, induced in graphene by gating, works to contrast the edge states of electrons and holes on each side of it. In a magnetic field those edge states carry two species of persistent current, which are intimately tied to the…

Periodic arrays of antidots, i.e. nanoscale perforations, in graphene enable tight confinement of carriers and efficient transport barriers. Such barriers evade the Klein tunneling mechanism by being of the mass rather than electrostatic…
