Quantum Interferences in Monolayer Graphene PN Junctions

ORAL

Abstract

Ballistic Dirac-Fermion transport across gate-defined PN junctions exhibits strong dependence on incident angle due to the linear dispersion relationship. Multiple experiments have been performed utilizing the angle-dependence of Klein tunneling, in which novel electron-optics concepts including electron collimation [1] and Veselago lensing [2][3] have been demonstrated. Here we demonstrate preliminary experimental observations of quantum interferences based on these concepts. Preliminary transport data across carefully-engineered PN junctions will be presented and quantitative analysis based on Klein-tunneling probability will also be discussed.
