电子波的有效介质途径:石墨烯超晶格

An Effective Medium Approach to Electron Waves: Graphene Superlattices

Mario Silveirinha, Nader Engheta

摘要:

我们开发了一种有效的介质方法来表征周期性结构中物质波的传播,如石墨烯或半导体超晶格。证明了在空间局域化程度不超过结构特征周期的态的时间演化可以用有效哈密顿量精确描述,并且系统的电子能带结构可以由有效哈密顿量精确确定.作为该方法应用的一个例子,我们表征了石墨烯超晶格的介观响应。结果表明,这些结构可以简单地使用两个有效的参数:色散势,和表征赝自旋的各向异性张量。我们的模型预测,一个石墨烯超晶格的特点是一个不确定的各向异性张量-这样的张量的本征值具有相反的符号-可以允许完美的隧穿的所有固定状态的能量的特定值时,它与一个双石墨烯超晶格与正定各向异性张量配对。

英文摘要:

We develop an effective medium approach to characterize the propagation of matter waves in periodic structures, such as graphene or semiconductor superlattices. It is proven that the time evolution of the states that are not more localized in space than the characteristic period of the structure can be described exactly through an effective Hamiltonian, and that the electronic band structure of the system can be exactly determined from the effective Hamiltonian. As an illustration of the application of the method, we characterize the mesoscopic response of graphene superlattices. It is shown that these structures may be described using simply two effective parameters: a dispersive potential, and an anisotropy tensor that characterizes the pseudospin. Our model predicts that a graphene superlattice characterized by an indefinite anisotropy tensor - such that the eigenvalues of the tensor have opposite signs - may permit the perfect tunneling of all the stationary states with a specific value of the energy when it is paired with a dual graphene superlattice with positive definite anisotropy tensor.
