AB  - The recent experimental realization of high-quality WSe2 leads to the possibility of an efficient manipulation of its spin and valley degrees of freedom. Its electronic properties comprise a huge spin-orbit coupling, a direct band gap, and a strong anisotropic lifting of the degeneracy of the valley degree of freedom in a magnetic field. We evaluate its band structure and study ballistic electron transport through single and double junctions (or barriers) on monolayer WSe2 in the presence of spin M-s and valley M-v Zeeman fields and of an electric potential U. The conductance versus the field Ms or Mv decreases in a fluctuating manner. For a single junction, the spin P-s and valley P-v polarizations rise with M = M-v = 2M(s), reach a value of more than 55%, and become perfect above U approximate to 45 meV while for a double junction this change can occur for U >= 50 meV and M >= 5 meV. In certain regions of the (M, U) plane P-v becomes perfect. The conductance g(c), its spin-up and spin-down components, and both polarizations oscillate with the barrier width d. The ability to isolate various carrier degrees of freedom in WSe2 may render it a promising candidate for new spintronic and valleytronic devices.

AB  - The electronic properties of WSe2 comprise a huge spin-orbit coupling, a wide direct band gap, and especially a strong anisotropic lifting of the degeneracy of the valley degree of freedom in a magnetic field. We study ballistic electron transport through single or double junctions on monolayer WSe2 in the presence of spin M-s and valley M-v Zeeman fields and of an electric potential U. The conductance vs. the field M-s or M-v decreases in a fluctuating manner. For a single junction the spin P-s and valley P-v polarizations rise with M = M-v = 2M(s), reach a value of more than 70%, and become perfect above U approximate to 90meV while for a double junction this change can occur for U approximate to 50meV and M >= 10meV. Pv increases with U and both polarizations oscillate with the junction width. The results may render WSe2 a promising candidate for new spintronic and valleytronic devices.

AB  - We study ballistic electron transport through single or double barriers on monolayer MoS2, of width d, in the presence of a ferromagnetic field Moran antiferromagnetic field F. The total conductance,gc, its spin-up and spin-down components, and the polarization oscillate with d or the distance b between two barriers. The corresponding oscillation periods are different. The conductance g(c) versus M decreases in a fluctuating manner with a steep decline at certain value of M. As a function of M the spin polarization P-s oscillates before it becomes 100% while the valley polarization 13, oscillates and steadily increases.

Integer quantum Hall effect in gapped single-layer graphene

AB  - Analytical expressions for the Hall conductivity sigma(yx) and the longitudinal resistivity rho(xx) are derived in gapped, single-layer graphene using linear response theory. The gap 2 Delta, described by a mass term, is induced by a substrate made of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and produces two levels at +/-Delta. It is shown that syx has the same form as for a graphene sample supported by a common substrate without a mass term. The differences are a shift in the energy spectrum, which is not symmetric with respect to the Dirac point for either valley due to the gap, the absence of a zero-energy Landau level, and the nonequivalence of the K and K' valleys. In addition, the dispersion of the energy levels, caused by electron scattering by impurities, modifies mostly plateaus due to the levels at +/-Delta. It is shown that the resistivity rho(xx) exhibits an oscillatory dependence on the electron concentration. The main difference with the usual graphene samples, on SiO2 substrates, occurs near zero concentration, as the energy spectra differ mostly near the Dirac point.

AB  - We investigate the electronic properties of graphene nanostructures when the Fermi velocity and the electrostatic potential vary in space. First, we consider the transmission T and conductance G through single and double barriers. We show that G for velocity barriers differs markedly from that for potential barriers for energies below the height of the latter and it exhibits periodic oscillations as a function of the energy for strong velocity modulation. Special attention is given to superlattices (SLs). It is shown that an applied bias can efficiently widen or shrink the allowed minibands of velocity-modulated SLs. The spectrum in the Kronig-Penney limit is periodic in the strength of the barriers. Collimation of an electron beam incident on an SL with velocity and potential barriers is present but it disappears when the potential barriers are absent. The number of additional Dirac points may change considerably if barriers and wells have sufficiently different Fermi velocities.
