▎ 摘  要

Graphene superlattices (GSLs), formed by subjecting a monolayer graphene sheet to a periodic potential, can be used to engineer band structures and, from there, charge transport properties, but these are sensitive to the presence of disorder. The localization behavior of massless 2D Dirac particles induced by weak disorder is studied for both scalar-potential and vector-potential GSLs, computationally as well as analytically by a weak-disorder expansion. In particular, it is investigated how the Lyapunov exponent (inverse localization length) depends on the incidence angle to a 1D GSL. Delocalization resonances are found for both scalar and vector GSLs. The sharp angular dependence of the Lyapunov exponent may be exploited to realize disorder-induced filtering, as verified by full 2D numerical wave packet simulations.
