Graphene quantum dots formed by a spatial modulation of the Dirac gap
G. Giavaras, Franco Nori
An electrostatic quantum dot cannot be formed in monolayer graphene, because of the Klein tunnelling. However, a dot can be formed with the help of a uniform magnetic field. As sho…

Dirac gap-induced graphene quantum dot in an electrostatic potential
G. Giavaras, Franco Nori
A spatially modulated Dirac gap in a graphene sheet leads to charge confinement, thus enabling a graphene quantum dot to be formed without the application of external electric and…
