We propose a scheme to trap and filter electrons, valley dependently, on a scale beyond the diffraction limit, in a gapped Dirac system using a circularly polarized light beam and a microscale metallic resonator. The main mechanism allowing…
We theoretically investigate the effects of strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields on the transmission probability and the ballistic conductance for Dirac fermion transport in suspended graphene. We show that resonant tunneling through double…
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…
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…
In this Letter, both the manipulation of valley-polarized currents and the optical-like behaviors of Dirac fermions are theoretically explored in polycrystalline graphene. When strain is applied, the misorientation between two graphene…
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) has been employed to probe charge carriers in a graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructure [Nano Lett, 21, 5013 (2021)]. We propose an approach for operating valley filtering based on the…
Due to their possibility to encode information and realize low-energy-consumption quantum devices, control and manipulation of the valley degree of freedom have been widely studied in electronic systems. In contrast, the phononic…
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…
In this work we investigate the effects of a Fermi velocity modulation in a valley filter in graphene created by a combination of a magnetic and electric barrier. With the effective Dirac equation of the system, we use the transfer matrix…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
The existence of two-inequivalent valleys in the band structure of graphene has motivated the search of mechanisms that allow their separation and control for potential device applications. Among the several schemes proposed in the…
We propose a device in which a sheet of graphene is coupled to a Weyl semimetal, allowing for the physical access to the study of tunneling from two-dimensional to three dimensional massless Dirac fermions. Due to the reconstructed band…
We test the valley-filtering capabilities of a quantum dot inscribed by locally straining an $\alpha$-$\mathcal{T}_3$ lattice. Specifically, we consider an out-of-plane Gaussian bump in the center of a four-terminal configuration and…
The Corbino geometry allows one to investigate the propagation of electric current along a p-n interface in ballistic graphene in the absence of edge states appearing for the familiar Hall-bar geometry. Using the transfer matrix in the…
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…
