We study transport in twisted bilayer graphene and show that electrostatic barriers can act as valley splitters, where electrons from the $K$ ($K'$) valley are transmitted only to e.g.\ the top (bottom) layer, leading to valley-layer locked…
We discuss valley current, which is carried by quasiparticles in graphene. We show that the valley current arises owing to a peculiar term in the electron-phonon collision integral that mixes the scalar and vector gauge-field-like vertices…
It is well known that band inversion across a straight interface in a periodic medium gives rise to interface modes that are localized near the interface and propagate along it inside the bulk spectral gap. This phenomenon constitutes the…
We recently shown, using tight-binding calculations, that nonequilibrium valley polarization can be realized in graphene, when the current is injected through "valley filter": a ballistic point contact with zigzag edges. Here we…
