We present the results of an experimental study of the interaction of quantized Landau level (LL) edge-states at the physical edge of graphene by using a graphene pn junction device with a ring-shaped geometry for the channel. The unique device geometry allows the interactions between edge-states to be probed at both electrostatic edges defined by pn junctions and at the graphene physical edge. Measurements show that while the lowest LL edge-state is decoupled from the other LLs along the electrostatic junction, all the edge-states strongly equilibrate at the graphene physical edge despite the relatively short distance that they travel along the edge in our device. These findings are fundamental for the engineering of future high-performance graphene field-effect transistors based upon electron optics.

We present nonlocal resistance measurements in an ultra high mobility two dimensional electron gas. Our experiments show that even at weak magnetic fields classical guiding along edges leads to a strong non local resistance on macroscopic distances.
In this high Landau level regime the transport along edges is dissipative and can be controlled by the amplitude of the voltage drop along the edge. We report resonances in the nonlocal transport as a function of this voltage that are interpreted as escape and formation of edge channels.
We report the realization of a synthetic magnetic field for photons and polaritons in a honeycomb lattice of coupled semiconductor micropillars. A strong synthetic field is induced in both the s and p orbital bands by engineering a uniaxial hopping g
radient in the lattice, giving rise to the formation of Landau levels at the Dirac points. We provide direct evidence of the sublattice symmetry breaking of the lowest-order Landau level wavefunction, a distinctive feature of synthetic magnetic fields. Our realization implements helical edge states in the gap between n=0 and n=1 Landau levels, experimentally demonstrating a novel way of engineering propagating edge states in photonic lattices. In light of recent advances in the enhancement of polariton-polariton nonlinearities, the Landau levels reported here are promising for the study of the interplay between pseudomagnetism and interactions in a photonic system.
We explore Andreev states at the interface of graphene and a superconductor for a uniform pseudo-magnetic field. Near the zeroth-pseudo Landau level, we find a topological transition as a function of applied Zeeman field, at which a gapless helical m
ode appears. This 1D mode is protected from backscattering as long as intervalley- and spin-flip scattering are suppressed. We discuss a possible experimental platform to detect this gapless mode based on strained suspended membranes on a superconductor, in which dynamical strain causes charge pumping
Spatially inhomogeneous strains in graphene can simulate the effects of valley-dependent magnetic fields. As demonstrated in recent experiments, the realizable magnetic fields are large enough to give rise to well-defined flat pseudo-Landau levels, p
otentially having counter-propagating edge modes. In the present work we address the conditions under which such edge modes are visible. We find that, whereas armchair edges do not support counter-propagating edge modes, zigzag edges do so, through a novel selective-hybridization mechanism. We then discuss effects of interactions on the stability of counter-propagating edge modes, and find that, for the experimentally relevant case of Coulomb interactions, interactions typically decrease the stability of the edge modes. Finally, we generalize our analysis to address the case of spontaneous valley polarization, which is expected to occur in charge-neutral strained graphene.
We study the scattering phase shift of Dirac fermions at graphene edge. We find that when a plane wave of a Dirac fermion is reflected at an edge of graphene, its reflection phase is shifted by the geometric phase resulting from the change of the pse
udospin of the Dirac fermion in the reflection. The geometric phase is the Pancharatnam-Berry phase that equals the half of the solid angle on Bloch sphere determined by the propagation direction of the incident wave and also by the orientation angle of the graphene edge. The geometric phase is finite at zigzag edge in general, while it always vanishes at armchair edge because of intervalley mixing. To demonstrate its physical effects, we first connect the geometric phase with the energy band structure of graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edge. The magnitude of the band gap of the nanoribbon, that opens in the presence of the staggered sublattice potential induced by edge magnetization, is related to the geometric phase. Second, we numerically study the effect of the geometric phase on the Veselago lens formed in a graphene nanoribbon. The interference pattern of the lens is distinguished between armchair and zigzag nanoribbons, which is useful for detecting the geometric phase.
