Effects of discrete topology on quantum transport across a graphene junction: A quantum gravity analogue
arXiv:2112.04450 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.L161401
Abstract
In this article, we investigate the effect of next-to-the-nearest atom hopping on Klein tunnelling in graphene. An effective quantum dynamics equation is obtained based on an emergent generalized Dirac structure by analyzing the tight-binding model beyond the linear regime. We show that this structure has some interesting theoretical properties. First, it can be used to simplify quantum transport calculations used to characterize Klein tunnelling; second, it is not Chirally symmetric as hinted by previous work. Finally, it is reminiscent of theories on a space with a discrete topology. Exploiting these properties, we show that the discrete topology of the crystal lattice has an effect on the Klein tunnelling, which can be experimentally probed by measuring the transmittance through junctions. We argue that this simulates quantum gravitational analogues using graphene and we propose an experiment to perform such measurements.
