Graphene pn Junction: Electronic Transport and Devices

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Graphene Nanoelectronics

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

This chapter provides a tutorial style review on the physics of electronic transport through a graphene pn junction in the absence and presence of a magnetic field, including the case of a strain-induced pseudo-magnetic field. We review the basic transport theories for the graphene pn junction and complement this understanding with numerical studies and key experimental findings. Novel devices, such as electron optics and strain-induced pseudo-magnetic devices, that exploit the physics of the graphene pn junction discussed in here, will be presented.

Notes

  1. 1.

    See also relevant chapters of this book, e.g. Sect. 15.2.1 should complements with Chaps. 8, 9 and 17 provides other aspects of electronic transport properties.

  2. 2.

    Klein tunneling is to be distinguished from Klein paradox, see [130] for an interesting historical account of the related Klein paradox.

  3. 3.

    “isospin” used in this context has nothing to do with “isospin” in particle physics.

  4. 4.

    Except when different valley degeneracies are accounted.
