Electron optics in the solid state promises new functionality in electronics through the possibility of realizing micrometer-sized interferometers, lenses, collimators and beam splitters that manipulate electrons instead of light. Until now, however, such functionality has been demonstrated exclusively in one-dimensional devices, such as in nanotubes, and in graphene-based devices operating with p-n junctions. In this work, we describe a novel mechanism for realizing electron optics in two dimensions. By studying a two-dimensional Fabry-P{e}rot interferometer based on a resonant cavity formed in an InAs/GaSb double quantum well using p-n junctions, we establish that electron-hole hybridization in band-inverted systems can facilitate coherent interference. With this discovery, we expand the field of electron optics to encompass materials that exhibit band inversion and hybridization, with the promise to surpass the performance of current state-of-the-art devices.

We calculate the conductance of a two-dimensional bilayer with inverted electron-hole bands, to study the sensitivity of the quantum spin Hall insulator (with helical edge conduction) to the combination of electrostatic disorder and a perpendicular m
agnetic field. The characteristic breakdown field for helical edge conduction splits into two fields with increasing disorder, a field $B_{c}$ for the transition into a quantum Hall insulator (supporting chiral edge conduction) and a smaller field $B_{c}$ for the transition to bulk conduction in a quasi-metallic regime. The spatial separation of the inverted bands, typical for broken-gap InAs/GaSb quantum wells, is essential for the magnetic-field induced bulk conduction --- there is no such regime in HgTe quantum wells.
We report the first experimental study of the quantum interference correction to the conductivity of bilayer graphene. Low-field, positive magnetoconductivity due to the weak localisation effect is investigated at different carrier densities, includi
ng those around the electroneutrality region. Unlike conventional 2D systems, weak localisation in bilayer graphene is affected by elastic scattering processes such as intervalley scattering. Analysis of the dephasing determined from the magnetoconductivity is complemented by a study of the field- and density-dependent fluctuations of the conductance. Good agreement in the value of the coherence length is found between these two studies.
We investigated metal-insulator transitions for double layer two-dimensional electron hole systems in transition metal dicalcogenides (TMDC) stacked on opposite sides of thin layers of boron nitride (BN). The interparticle interaction is calculated b
y including the screening due to the polarization charges at different interfaces, including that at the encapsultion and the substrate of experimental structures. We compute and compare the energies of the metallic electron-hole plasma and the newly proposed insulating exciton solid with fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulation including the high valley degeneracy of the electron bands. We found that for some examples of current experimental structures, the transition electron/hole density is in an accessible range of g x 10^12 /cm*2 with g between 4.1 and 14.5 for spacer thicknesses between 2.5 and 7.5 nm. Our result raise the possibility of exploiting this effect for logic device applications.
The electron-hole symmetry in the structure graphene - insulating substrate -semiconductor gate is violated due to an asymmetrical drop of potential in the semiconductor gate under positive or negative biases. The gate voltage dependencies of concent
ration and conductivity are calculated for the case of SiO_2 substrate placed over low- (moderate-) doped p-Si. Similar dependencies of the optical conductivity are analyzed for the case of high-kappa substrates (AlN, Al_2O_3, HfO_2, and ZrO_2). The comparison of our results with experimental data shows a good agreement for both cases.
We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of ternary pnictide CaAuAs which is predicted to be a three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetal (TDS). By accurately determining the bulk-band structure, we have revealed
the coexistence of three-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surfaces with dominant hole carriers. The band structure around the Brillouin-zone center is characterized by an energy overlap between hole and electron pockets, in excellent agreement with first-principles band-structure calculations. This indicates the occurrence of bulk-band inversion, supporting the TDS state in CaAuAs. Because of the high tunability in the chemical composition besides the TDS nature, CaAuAs provides a precious opportunity for investigating the quantum phase transition from TDS to other exotic topological phases.
