IAP Physics Seminar Series will occur on Tuesday 30 April 24, at 15:15 at the UM6P campus (Ryad 8, 1st floor).
Abstract:
The use of 2D materials, particularly graphene, has received considerable attention due to its exceptional properties. However, challenges such as Klein tunneling and the absence of a band gap remain significant hurdles. Overcoming these obstacles is essential to fully realize the potential of 2D materials and is driving ongoing research into approaches such as heterostructures and manipulation of electron transport. In this regard, we have studied the transport properties of bilayer graphene exposed to a magnetic field and connected to monolayer graphene on the left and right sides. This system resulted in the zigzag boundaries of the junction, labeled ZZ1 and ZZ2.
