Outline Trigonal warping in the low-energy band structure of BLG, additional deformation by mechanical strain... => Changing topology and symmetry breaking in the spectrum! Inspiration: 'Flat-lens focusing of electrons on the surface of a topological insulator' Hassler, Akhmerov and Beenakker, Phys. Rev. B 82, (2010) This can be done in graphene too! probe the spectrum's topology and symmetries, strain controlled electron flow, strain detection,..

The Symmetry Breaking Hamiltonian External electrostatic potential Kinetic term from the 1 st neighbour intralayer interaction Kinetic term from the 2 nd neighbour interlayer interaction Trigonal warping ξ is the valley index > valleytronics Complex scalar describing mechanical strain 1 and also e-e interaction to some extent 2... [1] M. Mucha-Kruczyński, Phys. Rev. B 84, (2011) [2] Y. Lemonik, Phys. Rev. B 82, (2010)

Energy contours v 3 deforms the band structure. Anisotropy! Trigonal warping! Curvature is a function of E (or k) and also very sensitive to w. solid: w = -6 meV; dashed: w = 0 meV; dotted w = 6 meV w = 0 meV Zooming close to the Dirac points...

Consequences of the anisotropy? Potential step and classical trajectories in real space Dispersion curves and wavevectors in k-space Negative refraction at the potential step!.. Group velocity’s direction ≠ wavevectors’ direction !

About negative refraction...

The experimental setup

The theoretical setup In real space......and in k-space. Rays get partially reflected and refracted at the junction. Electron from K’ focus, but electrons from K diverge. Valley selection, Valleytronics...

Total particle densities are calculated using semi-classical catastrophe optics. Contributions of electron rays are summed up coherently. 3 Dark blue lines are the theoretical curves of the cusp caustics. Electrons from one valley constitute one bunch of local maxima. The diffraction pattern rotates together with the lattice... [3] K. M. Borysenko, Phys. Rev. B 83, (2011)

Polarization

Experimental relevance [5] A. S. Mayorov et al., Science 333, 860 (2011) β=0, E ν ~(ν+½) β=π,Eν~√νβ=π,Eν~√ν Landau levels at different filling factors 5

Transmission probability as the function of. (w = 0 meV) High transparency within the same band! E i = + 80 meV E t = - 36 meV Interband scattering E i = + 80 meV E t = + 36 meV Intraband scattering K-electrons K’-electrons When neglecting trigonal warping

Summary Electronic Veselago lens in BLG with a planar potential step => Coherent focusing of electrons Trigonal warping => Anisotropy, negative refraction Valley selection => High degree of polarization Intraband scattering => High transparency Topology and symmetries of the low-energy band structure can be analysed Sensitive strain measurement Electron optical applications
