  • 單層石墨烯因其線性色散關係與無質量狄拉克費米子之特性,可展現負折射與克萊因穿隧等獨特的彈道傳輸現象,為研究電子光學提供了絕佳的平台。本論文利用可擴展之緊束縛模型進行數值模擬,系統性地探討石墨烯中電子束的量子傳輸行為。我們首先驗證了拋物線 p-n 接面的電子聚焦能力。為進一步提升電子束品質,本研究提出了一種結合針孔式注入器與拋物線 p-n 接面的雙重準直架構。透過半高寬分析證實,此混合架構能產生高度準直且不發散的電子束,表現顯著優於單一注入源。基於此窄電子束,我們進一步探討其在不同位能分佈下的進階電子光學應用。研究發現在圓環接面中會出現軌跡偏折、全反射與共振態;同時,透過平滑梯度閘極成功實現了可調控的電子束分流與橫向漂移現象。最後,我們探討了電子束與應變引發之偽磁場的交互作用,揭示了顯著的谷自由度傳輸行為。本研究結果有助於加深對石墨烯系統中電子光學行為的理解,並為未來奈米電子元件的設計提供理論參考。

    Single-layer graphene, characterized by its linear energy dispersion and massless Dirac fermions, exhibits unique ballistic transport phenomena such as negative refraction and Klein tunneling, making it an ideal platform for electron optics. In this thesis, we systematically investigate the quantum transport simulation of electron beams in graphene using scalable tight-binding model. We first validate the focusing capabilities of a parabolic pn junction. To further enhance beam quality, we propose a novel double collimation architecture that integrates a pinhole injector with a parabolic pn junction. Our full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) analysis demonstrates that this hybrid configuration produces a highly collimated, non-dispersing electron beam that is significantly superior to standalone point contacts or pinhole injectors. Utilizing this optimized narrow beam, we explore advanced electron-optical applications across various potential landscapes. We observe trajectory deflection, total reflection, and resonant states within circular ring junctions, and we demonstrate tunable beam splitting and transverse drift using smooth gradient gates. Finally, we investigate the beam's interaction with strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields, revealing distinct valley-dependent transport behaviors. These findings provide valuable theoretical insights into graphene-based electron optics and into the design of future nanoelectronic devices.
