Ballistic collective group delay and its Goos-Hänchen component in
graphene
   [PDF]

Yu Song, Han-Chun Wu
We theoretically investigate the experimental observable of the ballistic collective group delay (CGD) of all the particles on the Fermi surface in graphene. First, we reveal that, lateral Goos-H\"{a}nchen (GH) shifts along barrier interfaces contribute an inherent component in the individual group delay (IGD). Then, by linking the complete IGD to spin precession through a dwell time, we suggest that, the CGD and its GH component can be electrostatically measured by a conductance difference in a spin-precession experiment under weak magnetic fields. Such an approach is feasible for almost arbitrary Fermi energy. We also indicate that, it is a generally nonzero self-interference delay that relates the IGD and dwell time in graphene.
