At the interface of electrostatic potential kink profiles one dimensional chiral states are found in bilayer graphene (BLG). Such structures can be created by applying an asymmetric potential to the upper and the lower layer of BLG. We…
Charge carriers in bilayer graphene occupy two parabolic continua of electron-like and hole-like states which differ by the alignment between carrier pseudospin and its momentum, the property known as chirality. Due to chirality…
The perfect transmission in graphene monolayer and the perfect reflection in Bernal graphene bilayer for electrons incident in the normal direction of a potential barrier are viewed as two incarnations of the Klein paradox. Here we show a…
Boundaries between structural twins of bilayer graphene (so-called AB/BA domain walls) are often discussed in terms of the formation of topologically protected valley-polarised chiral states. Here, we show that, depending on the width of…
Graphene is the first example of truly two-dimensional crystals - it's just one layer of carbon atoms. It turns out to be a gapless semiconductor with unique electronic properties resulting from the fact that charge carriers in graphene…
The problem of localized states in 1D systems with the relativistic spectrum, namely, graphene stripes and carbon nanotubes, has been analytically studied. The bound state as a superposition of two chiral states is completely described by…
We study the dynamics of semiclassical electrons in (gapped) graphene in two complementary limits, i.e. in the Klein tunneling and valley Hall effect regimes, by scattering wave packets off armchair step potentials and by exposing wave…

An electrostatic quantum dot cannot be formed in monolayer graphene, because of the Klein tunnelling. However, a dot can be formed with the help of a uniform magnetic field. As shown here, a spatial modulation of the Dirac gap leads to…
