Gate tuneable beamsplitter in ballistic graphene (1511.03044v2)

Abstract: We present a beam splitter in a suspended, ballistic, multiterminal, bilayer graphene device. By using local bottomgates, a p-n interface tilted with respect to the current direction can be formed. We show that the p-n interface acts as a semi-transparent mirror in the bipolar regime and that the reflectance and transmittance of the p-n interface can be tuned by the gate voltages. Moreover, by studying the conductance features appearing in magnetic field, we demonstrate that the position of the p-n interface can be moved by $1\,\mu$m. The herein presented beamsplitter device can form the basis of electron-optic interferometers in graphene.
