Abstract
Strategic manipulation of wave and particle transport in various media is the key driving force for modern information processing and communication. In a strongly scattering medium, waves and particles exhibit versatile transport characteristics such as localization, tunnelling with exponential decay, ballistic, and diffusion behaviours due to dynamical multiple scattering from strong scatters or impurities. Recent investigations of graphene have offered a unique approach, from a quantum point of view, to design the dispersion of electrons on demand, enabling relativistic massless Dirac quasiparticles, and thus inducing low-loss transport either ballistically or diffusively. Here, we report an experimental demonstration of an artificial phononic graphene tailored for surface phonons on a LiNbO3 integrated platform. The system exhibits Dirac quasiparticle-like transport, that is, pseudo-diffusion at the Dirac point, which gives rise to a thickness-independent temporal beating for transmitted pulses, an analogue of Zitterbewegung effects. The demonstrated fully integrated artificial phononic graphene platform here constitutes a step towards on-chip quantum simulators of graphene and unique monolithic electro-acoustic integrated circuits.

Topological Phononic Logic.

TL;DR: In this article, a topological logic gate for ultrasound was demonstrated by exploiting the large phase space of accidental degeneracies in a honeycomb lattice, and six physical parameters were used to tune these parameters to create a phononic switch between topological waveguide and a trivial insulator that can be triggered by ultrasonic heating.

Chiral tunnelling and the Klein paradox in graphene

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Klein paradox can be tested in a conceptually simple condensed-matter experiment using electrostatic barriers in single and bi-layer graphene, showing that quantum tunnelling in these materials becomes highly anisotropic, qualitatively different from the case of normal, non-relativistic electrons.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the specific effects of a bias on anomalous diffusion, and discuss the generalizations of Einstein's relation in the presence of disorder, and illustrate the theoretical models by describing many physical situations where anomalous (non-Brownian) diffusion laws have been observed or could be observed.
