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 density 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 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.
We show analytically that the ability of Dirac materials to localize an electron in both a barrier and a well can be utilized to open a pseudo-gap in graphenes spectrum. By using narrow top-gates as guiding potentials, we demonstrate that graphene bi
polar waveguides can create a non-monotonous one-dimensional dispersion along the electron waveguide, whose electrostatically controllable pseudo-band-gap is associated with strong terahertz transitions in a narrow frequency range.
We propose and investigate the intrinsically thinnest transistor concept: a monolayer ballistic heterojunction bipolar transistor based on a lateral heterostructure of transition metal dichalcogenides. The device is intrinsically thinner than a Field
Effect Transistor because it does not need a top or bottom gate, since transport is controlled by the electrochemical potential of the base electrode. As typical of bipolar transistors, the collector current undergoes a tenfold increase for each 60 mV increase of the base voltage over several orders of magnitude at room temperature, without sophisticated optimization of the electrostatics. We present a detailed investigation based on self-consistent simulations of electrostatics and quantum transport for both electron and holes of a pnp device using MoS$_2$ for the 10-nm base and WSe$_2$ for emitter and collector. Our three-terminal device simulations confirm the working principle and a large current modulation I$_text{ON}$/I$_text{OFF}sim 10^8$ for $Delta V_{rm EB}=0.5$ V. Assuming ballistic transport, we are able to achieve a current gain $betasim$ 10$^4$ over several orders of magnitude of collector current and a cutoff frequency up to the THz range. Exploration of the rich world of bipolar nanoscale device concepts in 2D materials is promising for their potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics.
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, c
ommensurability 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.
