Direct Evidence of Klein and Anti-Klein Tunneling of Graphitic Electrons in a Corbino Geometry.

ABSTRACT

Transport measurement of electron optics in monolayer graphene p-n junction devices has been traditionally studied with negative refraction and chiral transmission experiments in Hall bar magnetic focusing setups. We show direct signatures of Klein (monolayer) and anti-Klein (bilayer) tunneling with a circular "edgeless" Corbino geometry made out of gated graphene p-n junctions. Noticeable in particular is the appearance of angular sweet spots (Brewster angles) in the magnetoconductance data of bilayer graphene, which minimizes head-on transmission, contrary to conventional Fresnel optics or monolayer graphene which show instead a sharpened collimation of transmission paths. The local maxima on the bilayer magnetoconductance plots migrate to higher fields with increasing doping density. These experimental results are in good agreement with detailed numerical simulations and analytical predictions.
