1203.6517 (Csaba G. Péterfalvi et al.)

Intraband electron focusing in bilayer graphene    [PDF]

Csaba G. Péterfalvi, László Oroszlány, Colin J. Lambert, József Cserti
We propose an implementation of a valley selective electronic Veselago lens in bilayer graphene. We demonstrate that in the presence of an appropriately oriented potential step, low-energy electrons radiating from a point source can be re-focused coherently within the same band. The phenomena is due to the trigonal warping of the band structure that leads to a negative refraction index. We show that the interference pattern can be controlled by an external mechanical strain.
