Abstract
An analysis of electron transport in graphene is presented in the presence of various arrangement of delta-function like magnetic barriers. The motion through one such barrier gives an unusual non specular refraction leading to asymmetric transmission. The symmetry is restored by putting two such barriers in opposite direction side by side. Periodic arrangements of such barriers can be used as Bragg reflectors whose reflectivity has been calculated using a transfer matrix formalism. Such Bragg reflectors can be used to make resonant cavities. We also analyze the associated band structure for the case of infinite periodic structures.
