▎ 摘  要

We propose a new method for regulating valley pseudomagnetoresistance in ballistic graphene-based valley field-effect transistors by taking into account the Y-shaped Kekule lattice distortion and electric barrier. The device involves valley injection and valley detection by ferromagnetic-strain source and drain. The valley manipulation in the channel is achieved via the Y-shaped Kekule lattice distortion and electric barrier. The central mechanism of these devices lies on Y-shaped Kekule lattice distortion in graphene can induce a valley precession, thus controlling the valley orientation of channel electrons and hence the current collected at the drain. We found that the tuning external bias voltage makes the valley pseudomagnetoresistance oscillate between positive and negative values and colossal tunneling valley pseudomagnetoresistance of over 30,000% can be achieved. Our results suggest that the synergy of valleytronics and digital logics may provide new paradigms for valleytronic-based information processing and reversible computing.
