Magnetic confinement of massless Dirac fermions in graphene
arXiv:cond-mat/0610290 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.066802
Abstract
Due to Klein tunneling, electrostatic potentials are unable to confine Dirac electrons. We show that it is possible to confine massless Dirac fermions in a monolayer graphene sheet by inhomogeneous magnetic fields. This allows one to design mesoscopic structures in graphene by magnetic barriers, e.g. quantum dots or quantum point contacts.
