We simulate electron transport through graphene nanoribbons of realistic size containing a p-n junction patterned by electrostatic gates. For a sharp p-n interface, Klein tunneling leads to refocusing of a divergent beam forming a Veselago lens. Wider transition regions allow only electrons with near-perpendicular incidence to pass the junction, forming a Klein collimator. Using a third nearest neighbor tight binding description we explore the influence of interface roughness and bulk disorder on guiding properties. We provide bounds on disorder amplitudes and p-n junction properties to be satisfied in order to experimentally observe the focusing effect and compare our predictions to very recent realizations.
我们模拟了电子通过具有实际尺寸的石墨烯纳米带的输运过程,这些纳米带包含由静电栅极图案化的 p-n 结。对于尖锐的 p-n 界面,克莱因隧穿导致发散束重新聚焦,形成一个韦谢拉戈透镜。较宽的过渡区域仅允许近垂直入射的电子通过结,形成一个克莱因准直器。使用第三近邻紧束缚描述,我们研究了界面粗糙度和体无序对引导特性的影响。我们给出了为了通过实验观察聚焦效应而需要满足的无序幅度和 p-n 结特性的界限,并将我们的预测与最近的实验结果进行比较。
