We show how the trigonal warping effect in doped graphene can be used to produce fully valley polarized currents. We propose a device that acts both as a beam splitter and a collimator of these electronic currents. The result is demonstrated trough an optical analogy using two dimensional photonic crystals.

We show that the optical excitation of graphene with polarized light leads to the pure valley current where carriers in the valleys counterflow. The current in each valley originates from asymmetry of optical transitions and electron scattering by im purities owing to the warping of electron energy spectrum. The valley current has strong polarization dependence, its direction is opposite for normally incident beams of orthogonal linear polarizations. In undoped graphene on a substrate with high susceptibility, electron-electron scattering leads to an additional contribution to the valley current that can dominate.

We report a study of one-dimensional subband splitting in a bilayer graphene quantum point contact in which quantized conductance in steps of $4,e^2/h$ is clearly defined down to the lowest subband. While our source-drain bias spectroscopy measuremen ts reveal an unconventional confinement, we observe a full lifting of the valley degeneracy at high magnetic fields perpendicular to the bilayer graphene plane for the first two lowest subbands where confinement and Coulomb interactions are the strongest and a peculiar merging/mixing of $K$ and $K$ valleys from two non-adjacent subbands with indices $(N,N+2)$ which are well described by our semi-phenomenological model.

The generation of a fully valley-polarized current (FVPC) in bulk graphene is a fundamental goal in valleytronics. To this end, we investigate valley-dependent transport through a strained graphene modulated by a finite magnetic superlattice. It is f ound that this device allows a coexistence of insulating transmission gap of one valley and metallic resonant band of the other. Accordingly, a substantial bulk FVPC appears in a wide range of edge orientation and temperature, which can be effectively tuned by structural parameters. A valley-resolved Hall configuration is designed to measure the valley polarization degree of the filtered current.
Electronic analogue of generalized Goos-H{a}nchen shifts is investigated in the monolayer graphene superlattice with one-dimensional periodic potentials of square barriers. It is found that the lateral shifts for the electron beam transmitted through the monolayer graphene superlattice can be negative as well as positive near the band edges of zero-$bar{k}$ gap, which are different from those near the band edges of Bragg gap. These negative and positive beam shifts have close relation to the Dirac point. When the condition $q_A d_A= -q_B d_B= m pi$ ($m=1,2,3...$) is satisfied, the beam shifts can be controlled from negative to positive when the incident energy is above the Dirac point, and vice versa. In addition, the beam shifts can be greatly enhanced by the defect mode inside the zero-$bar{k}$ gap. These intriguing phenomena can be verified in a relatively simple optical setup, and have potential applications in the graphene-based electron wave devices.
We describe here recent work on the electronic properties, magnetoexcitons and valley polarised electron gas in 2D crystals. Among 2D crystals, monolayer $MoS_2$ has attracted significant attention as a direct-gap 2D semiconductor analogue of graphen e. The crystal structure of monolayer $MoS_2$ breaks inversion symmetry and results in K valley selection rules allowing to address individual valleys optically. Additionally, the band nesting near Q points is responsible for enhancing the optical response of $MoS_2$.We show that at low energies the electronic structure of $MoS_2$ is well approximated by the massive Dirac Fermion model. We focus on the effect of magnetic field on optical properties of $MoS_2$. We discuss the Landau level structure of massive Dirac fermions in the two non-equivalent valleys and resulting valley Zeeman splitting. The effects of electron-electron interaction on the valley Zeeman splitting and on the magneto-exciton spectrum are described. We show the changes in the absorption spectrum as the self-energy, electron-hole exchange and correlation effects are included. Finally, we describe the valley-polarised electron gas in $WS_2$ and its optical signature in finite magnetic fields.
