dc.description.abstractWe propose a spintronic device based on a narrow nanoribbon patterned from a monolayer graphene (MLG) sheet, embedded between a film of hexagonal boron nitride and a SiO2 substrate, all comprised under a three top-gated structure, to explore spin-dependent quantum transport of Dirac fermions. We developed a theoretical procedure for describing the pseudospin-related effects and the dynamics of Dirac fermions represented by a one-dimensional Gaussian wave packet (1DGWP), which is electrostatically confined in the device. The free-space 1DGWP time evolution follows expected features. Meanwhile, due to the weak breakdown of the real-spin degeneracy, the 1DGWP barely splits inside the under-barrier region governed by the extrinsic Rashba spin–orbit interaction (SOI-R). Most importantly, departing from the pristine MLG, we have found evidence of trembling antiphase oscillations in the probability density time-distribution for each sublattice state, which we have called the pseudospinorial Zitterbewegung effect (PZBE). The PZBE appears modulated with robust transient character and with a decay time in the femtosecond scale. Interestingly, several features of the PZBE become tunable, even its complete disappearance at the vicinity of the Dirac points or at a symmetric pseudospin configuration. For the proposed quasi-1D MLG device, we have captured evidence of the familiar Klein tunneling and the unusual anti-Klein tunneling, whose interplay for 2D MLG under tunable SOI-R was reported recently.
