Tuning quantum tunneling in WSe via strain engineering
Rachid El Aitouni, Hasna Chnafa, Clarence Cortes +2
We present a comprehensive theoretical study of strain-engineered quantum transport in monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe) in the presence of an electrostatic scalar potential.…

Laser-assisted tunneling in a static tungsten diselenide WSe barrier
Rachid El Aitouni, Mohammed El Azar, Clarence Cortes +3
We study the tunneling effect of Dirac fermions in a monolayer WSe subjected to a static electrostatic barrier and irradiated by a linearly polarized laser field. Within the Fl…

Laser-induced modulation of conductance in graphene with magnetic barriers
Rachid El Aitouni, Miloud Mekkaoui, Pablo Díaz +2
We study how electrons move across a graphene sheet when it encounters two magnetic barriers with a region in between that is continuously driven by laser light. Rather than acting…
