The electron transport of different conical valleys is investigated in graphene with extended line-defects. Intriguingly, the electron with a definite incident angle can be completely modulated into one conical valley by a resonator which…

Probing and controlling the valley degree of freedom in graphene systems by transport measurements has been a major challenge to fully exploit the unique properties of this two-dimensional material. In this theoretical work, we show that…

Elastic deformations of graphene can significantly change the flow paths and valley polarization of the electric currents. We investigate these phenomena in graphene nanoribbons with localized out-of-plane deformations by means of…

With its two degenerate valleys at the Fermi level, the band structure of graphene provides the opportunity to develop unconventional electronic applications. Herein, we show that electron and hole quasiparticles in graphene can be filtered…

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…

Valleytronics using two-dimensional materials opens unprecedented opportunities for information processing with the valley polarizer being a basic building block. Paradigms such as strain engineering, the inclusion of line defects, and the…

Valley filters are crucial to any device exploiting the valley degree of freedom. By using an atomistic model, we analyze the mechanism leading to the valley filtering produced by a line-defect in graphene and show how it can be inverted by…

The generation of a fully valley-polarized current (FVPC) in bulk graphene is a fundamental goal in valleytronics. To this end, we investigate valley-dependent transport through a strained graphene modulated by a finite magnetic…

This work performs a numerical study of electron transport through the fundamental logic gate in valleytronics - a valley valve consisting of two or increasing number of valley filters. Various typical effects on the transport are…

We study the intervalley scattering in defected graphene by low-temperature transport measurements. The scattering rate is strongly suppressed when defects are charged. This finding highlights "screening" of the short-range part of a…

Valley-polarized currents can be generated by local straining of multi-terminal graphene devices. The pseudo-magnetic field created by the deformation allows electrons from only one valley to transmit and a current of electrons from a…

It is known that the lowest propagating mode in a narrow ballistic ribbon of graphene may lack the twofold valley degeneracy of higher modes. Depending on the crystallographic orientation of the ribbon axis, the lowest mode mixes both…

Valley filtering processes have been explored in different graphene-based configurations and scenarios to control transport responses. Here we propose graphene multi-terminal set-ups properly designed to obtain valley filtered currents in a…

Topological line defects in graphene represent an ideal way to produce highly controlled structures with reduced dimensionality that can be used in electronic devices. In this work we propose using extended line defects in graphene to…

We show that the optical excitation of graphene with polarized light leads to the pure valley current where carriers in the valleys counterflow. The current in each valley originates from asymmetry of optical transitions and electron…

Graphene has attracted significant interest both for exploring fundamental science and for a wide range of technological applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is currently the only working approach to grow graphene at wafer scale,…

We theoretically study valley-filtering in pristine graphene irradiated by bicircular counter-rotating laser drive. The dynamical symmetry of the graphene and laser drive disrupts graphene's inversion symmetry, which results distinct…

We demonstrate rapid deterministic (seeded) growth of large single-crystals of graphene by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) utilising pre-patterned copper substrates with chromium nucleation sites. Arrays of graphene single-crystals as…

A potential step in a graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges is shown to be an intrinsic source of intervalley scattering -- no matter how smooth the step is on the scale of the lattice constant a. The valleys are coupled by a pair of…

The existence of nontrivial Berry phases associated with two inequivalent valleys in graphene provides interesting opportunities for investigating the valley-projected topological states. Examples of such studies include observation of…
