We have measured magnetoresistance of hexagonal lateral superlattices. We observe three types of oscillations engendered by periodic potential modulation having hexagonal-lattice symmetry: amplitude modulation of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, commensurability oscillations, and the geometric resonances of open orbits generated by Bragg reflections. The latter two reveal the presence of two characteristic periodicities, sqrt{3} a / 2 and a / 2, inherent in a hexagonal lattice with the lattice constant a. The formation of the hexagonal-superlattice minibands manifested by the observation of open orbits marks the first step toward realizing massless Dirac fermions in semiconductor 2DEGs.

Hybrid lateral superlattices composed of a square array of antidots and a periodic one-dimensional magnetic modulation are prepared in $mathrm{Ga[Al]As}$ heterostructures. The two-dimensional electron gases exposed to these superlattices are characte
rized by magnetotransport experiments in vanishing average perpendicular magnetic fields. Despite the absence of closed orbits, the diagonal magnetoresistivity in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic modulation shows pronounced classical resonances. They are located at magnetic fields where snake trajectories exist which are quasi-commensurate with the antidot lattice. The diagonal magnetoresistivity in the direction of the magnetic modulation increases sharply above a threshold magnetic field and shows no fine structure. The experimental results are interpreted with the help of numerical simulations based on the semiclassical Kubo model.
We report on transport properties of monolayer graphene with a laterally modulated potential profile, employing striped top gate electrodes with spacings of 100 nm to 200 nm. Tuning of top and back gate voltages gives rise to local charge carrier den
sity disparities, enabling the investigation of transport properties either in the unipolar (nn) or the bipolar (np) regime. In the latter pronounced single- and multibarrier Fabry-Perot (FP) resonances occur. We present measurements of different devices with different numbers of top gate stripes and spacings. The data are highly consistent with a phase coherent ballistic tight binding calculation and quantum capacitance model, whereas a superlattice effect and modification of band structure can be excluded.
We have observed commensurability oscillations (CO) in the Hall resistance $R_{yx}$ of a unidirectional lateral superlattice (ULSL). The CO, having small amplitudes ($sim$ 1 $Omega$) and being superposed on a roughly three-orders of magnitude larger
background, are obtained by directly detecting the difference in $R_{yx}$ between the ULSL area and the adjacent unmodulated two-dimensional electron gas area, and then extracting the odd part with respect to the magnetic field. The CO thus obtained are compared with a theoretical calculation and turn out to have the amplitude much smaller than the theoretical prediction. The implication of the smaller-than-predicted CO in $R_{yx}$ on the thermoelectric power of ULSL is briefly discussed.
We report on the observation of the magnetic quantum ratchet effect in graphene with a lateral dual-grating top gate (DGG) superlattice. We show that the THz ratchet current exhibits sign-alternating magneto-oscillations due to the Shubnikov-de Haas
effect. The amplitude of these oscillations is greatly enhanced as compared to the ratchet effect at zero magnetic field. The direction of the current is determined by the lateral asymmetry which can be controlled by variation of gate potentials in DGG. We also study the dependence of the ratchet current on the orientation of the terahertz electric field (for linear polarization) and on the radiation helicity (for circular polarization). Notably, in the latter case, switching from right- to left-circularly polarized radiation results in an inversion of the photocurrent direction. We demonstrate that most of our observations can be well fitted by the drift-diffusion approximation based on the Boltzmann kinetic equation with the Landau quantization fully encoded in the oscillations of the density of states.
In the present work we have investigated the transport properties in a number of Si/SiGe samples with square antidot lattices of different periods. In samples with lattice periods equal to 700 nm and 850 nm we have observed the conventional low-field
commensurability magnetoresistance peaks consistent with the previous observations in GaAs/AlGaAs and Si/SiGe samples with antidot lattices. In samples with a 600 nm lattice period a new series of well-developed magnetoresistance oscillations has been found beyond the last commensurability peak which are supposed to originate from periodic skipping orbits encircling an antidot with a particular number of bounds.
