In a recent comment (arXiv:1607.06081), Falaye et al. claim that there are certain flaws in our publication (Phys. Rev. B, 78, 195427 (2008)). We point out that our results, in particular the analytic derivation of the energy spectrum of a circular graphene quantum dot exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field, are correct and equivalent to the result of Falaye et al. A misleading notation error is corrected.

We analytically calculate the energy spectrum of a circular graphene quantum dot with radius R subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field B by applying the infinite-mass boundary condition. We can retrieve well-known limits for the cases R, B going to infinity and B going to zero. Our model is capable of capturing the essential details of recent experiments. Quantitative agreement between theory and experiment is limited due to the fact that a circular dot is not close enough to the experimental geometry, that disorder plays a significant role, and that interaction effects may be relevant.
We present transport measurements on a strongly coupled graphene quantum dot in a perpendicular magnetic field. The device consists of an etched single-layer graphene flake with two narrow constrictions separating a 140 nm diameter island from source and drain graphene contacts. Lateral graphene gates are used to electrostatically tune the device. Measurements of Coulomb resonances, including constriction resonances and Coulomb diamonds prove the functionality of the graphene quantum dot with a charging energy of around 4.5 meV. We show the evolution of Coulomb resonances as a function of perpendicular magnetic field, which provides indications of the formation of the graphene specific 0th Landau level. Finally, we demonstrate that the complex pattern superimposing the quantum dot energy spectra is due to the formation of additional localized states with increasing magnetic field.
We report transport experiments on graphene quantum dots. We focus on excited state spectra in the near vicinity of the charge neutrality point and signatures of the electron-hole crossover as a function of a perpendicular magnetic field. Coulomb blo ckade resonances of a 50 nm wide and 80 nm long dot are visible at all gate voltages across the transport gap ranging from hole to electron transport. The magnetic field dependence of more than 40 states as a function of the back gate voltage can be interpreted in terms of the unique evolution of the diamagnetic spectrum of a graphene dot including the formation of the E = 0 Landau level, situated in the center of the transport gap, and marking the electron-hole crossover.

We present a tight-binding theory of triangular graphene quantum dots (TGQD) with zigzag edge and broken sublattice symmetry in external magnetic field. The lateral size quantization opens an energy gap and broken sublattice symmetry results in a she ll of degenerate states at the Fermi level. We derive a semi-analytical form for zero-energy states in a magnetic field and show that the shell remains degenerate in a magnetic field, in analogy to the 0th Landau level of bulk graphene. The magnetic field closes the energy gap and leads to the crossing of valence and conduction states with the zero-energy states, modulating the degeneracy of the shell. The closing of the gap with increasing magnetic field is present in all graphene quantum dot structures investigated irrespective of shape and edge termination.
We report a dual resonance feature in ballistic conductance through a quantum Hall graphene nanoribbon with a magnetic quantum dot. Such a magnetic quantum dot localizes Dirac fermions exhibiting anisotropic eigenenergy spectra with broken time-rever sal symmetry. Interplay between the localized states and quantum Hall edge states is found to be two-fold, showing Breit-Wigner and Fano resonances, which is reminiscent of a double quantum dot system. By fitting the numerical results with the Fano-Breit-Wigner lineshape from the double quantum dot model, we demonstrate that the two-fold resonance is due to the valley mixing that comes from the coupling of the magnetic quantum dot with quantum Hall edge channels; an effective double quantum dot system emerges from a single magnetic quantum dot in virtue of the valley degree of freedom. It is further confirmed that the coupling is weaker for the Fano resonance and stronger for the Breit-Wigner resonace.
