The Corbino geometry allows one to investigate the propagation of electric current along a p-n interface in ballistic graphene in the absence of edge states appearing for the familiar Hall-bar geometry. Using the transfer matrix in the angular-momentum space we find that for sufficiently strong magnetic fields the current propagates only in one direction, determined by the magnetic field direction and the interface orientation, and the two valleys, K and K', are equally occupied. Spatially… Expand

Development of gateless quantum Hall checkerboard p-n junction devices.
Measurements of fractional multiples of the ν = 2 plateau quantized Hall resistance suggest that the scalability of p-n junction fabrication on millimetre or centimetre scales is feasible with regards to graphene device manufacturing by using the far more efficient process of standard ultraviolet lithography.

Wiedemann–Franz Law for Massless Dirac Fermions with Implications for Graphene
By adapting the handbook derivation of the WF law to the case of massless Dirac fermions, it is shown that significantly enhanced thermal conductivity should appear also in few- or even sub-kelvin temperatures, where the role of interactions can be neglected. Expand

Graphene subject to high levels of shear strain leads to strong pseudo-magnetic fields resulting in the emergence of Landau levels. Here we show that, with modest levels of strain, graphene can alsoExpand

This work suggests a way to obtain valley polarization using strain-induced inhomogeneous pseudomagnetic fields (PMFs) that act oppositely on the two valleys of graphene, whose associated PMFs lead to different real space trajectories for K and K^{'} electrons, thus allowing theTwo valleys to be addressed individually.
