Electron collimation at van der Waals domain walls in bilayer graphene
arXiv:1907.06827 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.045137
Abstract
We show that a domain wall separating single layer graphene (SLG) and AA-stacked bilayer graphene (AA-BLG) can be used to generate highly collimated electron beams which can be steered by a magnetic field. Such system exists in two distinct configurations, namely, locally delaminated AA-BLG and terminated AA-BLG whose terminal edge-type can be either zigzag or armchair. We investigate the electron scattering using semi-classical dynamics and verify the results independently with wave-packed dynamics simulations. We find that the proposed system supports two distinct types of collimated beams that correspond to the lower and upper cones in AA-BLG. Our computational results also reveal that collimation is robust against the number of layers connected to AA-BLG and terminal edges.
