Graphene transistor based on tunable Dirac fermion optics

Abstract

We report an electrically tunable graphene quantum switch based on Dirac fermion optics (DFO), with electrostatically defined analogies of mirror and collimators utilizing angle-dependent Klein tunneling. The device design allows a previously unreported quantitative characterization of the net DFO contribution and leads to improved device performance resilient to abrupt change in temperature, bias, doping, and electrostatic environment. The electrically tunable collimator and reflector demonstrated in this work, and the capability of accurate in situ characterization of their performance, provide the building blocks toward more complicated functional quantum device architecture such as highly integrated electron-optical circuits.
