Graphene, as an atomic-thick ultrasoft membrane, almost has no resistance against out-of-plane deformations and, therefore, it is always wrinkled to a certain degree. Recently, corrugated structures and their effects on the electronic…

Spontaneous symmetry-breaking, where the ground state of a system has lower symmetry than the underlying Hamiltonian, is ubiquitous in physics. It leads to multiply-degenerate ground states, each with a different "broken" symmetry labeled…
We study ballistic transport in bilayer graphene junctions and show how electrostatic gating, interlayer bias, and homogeneous strain provide complementary control over electron transmission. In the absence of strain, transport is governed…
