Klein collimation by rippled graphene superlattice

The hybridization of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] orbitals of carbon atoms in graphene depends on the surface curvature. Considering a single junction between flat and rippled graphene subsystems, it is found an accumulation of charge in the rippled subsystem due to Klein penetration phenomenon that gives rise to n-p junction. Using this fact, we show that the momentum distribution of electrons in ballisitically propagating beam can be selective without a waveguide, or external electric, and/or magnetic fields in graphene strip under experimentally feasible one-dimensional periodic potential. Such a potential is created with the aid of superlattice that consists of periodically repeated graphene pieces with different hybridizations of carbon orbits, produced by variation of the graphene surface curvature. The charge redistribution and selected transmission of electrons, caused by the superlattice, allows to control the electron focusing in the considered system by simply changing the element properties in the superlattice.
