▎ 摘  要

Graphene has evolved as a platform for quantum transport that can compete with the best and cleanest semiconductor systems. Here, we report on the observation of distinct electronic jets emanating from a narrow split-gate-defined channel in bilayer graphene. We find that these jets, which are visible via their interference patterns, occur predominantly with an angle of 60 degrees between each other. This observation is related to the trigonal warping in the band structure of bilayer graphene, which, in conjunction with electron injection through a constriction, leads to a valley-dependent selection of momenta. This experimental observation of electron jetting has consequences for carrier transport in two-dimensional materials with a trigonally warped band structure in general, as well as for devices relying on ballistic and valley-selective transport.
