Valleytronics is one of the breaking-through to the technology of electronics, which provides a new degree of freedom to manipulate the properties of electrons. Combining DFT calculations, optical absorption analysis and the linear…
Previous works on deformed graphene predict the existence of valley-polarized states, however, optimal conditions for their detection remain challenging. We show that in the quantum Hall regime, edge-like states in strained regions can be…
For gapped graphene, we predict that an intense ultrashort (single-oscillation) circularly-polarized optical pulse can induce a large population of the conduction band and a large valley polarization. With an increase in the bandgap, the…
In solid, the crystalline structure can endow electron an internal degree of freedom known as valley, which characterizes the degenerate energy minima in momentum space. The recent success in optical pumping of valley polarization in 2D…
Graphene corrugations affect hybridization of $\pi$ and $\sigma$ orbitals of carbon atoms in graphene based systems. It can as well break differently the symmetry of the electron transfer integrals for different strip boundaries. Using…
In addition to electron charge and spin, novel materials host another degree of freedom, the valley. For a junction composed of valley filter sandwiched by two normal terminals, we focus on the valley efficiency under disorder with two…
We demonstrate valley-dependent vortex generation in a photonic graphene. Without breaking the inversion symmetry, excitation of two equivalent valleys leads to formation of an optical vortex upon Bragg-reflection to the third valley, with…
Graphene on hBN (G/hBN) has a long period moir\'{e} superstructure owing to the lattice mismatch between two materials. Long periodic potential caused by the moir\'{e} superstructure induces modulation of electronic properties of the…
The ability to resolve the polarization of light with on-chip devices represents an urgent problem in optoelectronics. The detectors with polarization resolution demonstrated so far mostly require multiple oriented detectors or movable…
In graphene, a Kekul\'e-Y bond texture modifies the electronic band structure generating two concentric Dirac cones with different Fermi velocities lying in the {\Gamma}-point in reciprocal space. The energy dispersion results in different…
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene displays a complex phase diagram as a function of flat band filling, featuring compressibility cascade transitions and a variety of competing ground states with broken spin, valley and point group…
Propagation of an electron wave packet through a quantum point contact (QPC) defined by electrostatic gates in bilayer graphene is investigated. The gates provide a bias between the layers, in order to produce an energy gap. If the gates on…
A valley filter capable of generating a valley-polarized current is a crucial element in valleytronics, yet its implementation remains challenging. Here, we propose a valley filter made of a graphene bilayer which exhibits a 1D moir\'{e}…
We examine the full static non-linear optical response of uniaxially strained transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers doped with a finite carrier density in the conduction band, in the presence of disorder. We find that the customary…
The generation of valley current is a fundamental goal in graphene valleytronics but no practical ways of its realization are known yet. We propose a workable scheme for the generation of bulk valley current in a graphene mechanical…
We show the possibility of inducing an edge charge current by applying time-dependent strain in gapped graphene samples preserving time reversal symmetry. We demonstrate that this edge current has the same origin as the valley Hall response…
Spontaneous optical emission of graphene irradiated by intense single-cycle terahertz pulses was investigated experimentally and explained theoretically. We found that emitted photons are polarized predominantly perpendicular to the…
Because the valleys in the band structure of graphene are related by time-reversal symmetry, electrons from one valley are reflected as holes from the other valley at the junction with a superconductor. We show how this Andreev reflection…
We study ballistic transport of Dirac electrons through a strip in silicene, when the strip is exposed to off-resonant circularly polarized light and an electric field applied perpendicular to the silicene plane. We show that the…
We investigate the valley relaxation due to intervalley coupling in a single-electron bilayer graphene quantum dot. The valley relaxation is assisted by both the emission of acoustic phonons via the deformation potential and bond-length…
