          Abstract

          We study the effect of a magnetic field on Goos-H\"anchen shifts in gaped graphene subjected to a double triangular barrier. Solving the wave equation separately in each region composing our system and using the required boundary conditions, we then compute explicitly the transmission probability for scattered fermions. These wavefunctions are then used to derive with the Goos-H\"anchen shifts in terms of different physical parameters such as energy, electrostatic potential strength and magnetic field. Our numerical results show that the Goos-H\"anchen shifts are affected by the presence of the magnetic field and depend on the geometrical structure of the triangular barrier.

          Chiral tunneling and the Klein paradox in graphene

          The so-called Klein paradox - unimpeded penetration of relativistic particles through high and wide potential barriers - is one of the most exotic and counterintuitive consequences of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The phenomenon is discussed in many contexts in particle, nuclear and astro- physics but direct tests of the Klein paradox using elementary particles have so far proved impossible. Here we show that the effect can be tested in a conceptually simple condensed-matter experiment by using electrostatic barriers in single- and bi-layer graphene. Due to the chiral nature of their quasiparticles, quantum tunneling in these materials becomes highly anisotropic, qualitatively different from the case of normal, nonrelativistic electrons. Massless Dirac fermions in graphene allow a close realization of Klein's gedanken experiment whereas massive chiral fermions in bilayer graphene offer an interesting complementary system that elucidates the basic physics involved.

            Transmission through Biased Graphene Strip

            We solve the 2D Dirac equation describing graphene in the presence of a linear vector potential. The discretization of the transverse momentum due to the infinite mass boundary condition reduced our 2D Dirac equation to an effective massive 1D Dirac equation with an effective mass equal to the quantized transverse momentum. We use both a numerical Poincare Map approach, based on space discretization of the original Dirac equation, and direct analytical method. These two approaches have been used to study tunneling phenomena through a biased graphene strip. The numerical results generated by the Poincare Map are in complete agreement with the analytical results.
