• Abstract summary: The Zitterbewegung (ZB) effect is investigated in graphene with spacially modulated potential near the original Dirac point (ODP) and extra Dirac points (EDPs) The frequency of the ZB oscillations is in the range $[107textHz, 1013textHz] depending on what type of EDP is generated and the amplitude reaches hundreds of angstroms but their attenuation becomes very slow.

• Abstract: The Zitterbewegung (ZB) effect is investigated in graphene with spacially modulated potential near the original Dirac point (ODP) and extra Dirac points (EDPs). Our calculations show that to get the large ZB oscillations, the wave packet center must be at the angle $\theta_0=0$ for EDPs located at zero-energy, or $\theta_0=\pi/2$ for both ODP and EDPs at finite energy $\varepsilon=m\pi$ ($m$ integer). By varying the parameters ($q_2, \mathbb{V}$) of the periodic potential and the initial momentum ($\kappa_0, \theta_0$) of Gaussian wave packet, it is found that the frequency of the ZB oscillations is in the range $[10^{7}~\text{Hz}, 10^{13}~\text{Hz}$] depending on what type of EDP is generated and the amplitude reaches hundreds of angstroms but their attenuation becomes very slow. More analysis of the frequency shows the possibilities in experimentally realizing the ZB effect in our system.

  We study a resonant interaction of an elliptically polarized light wave with vapor exposed to a magnetic field. The sensitivity of the magnetic field sensor is estimated to be $approx,$$130$fT/$surd$Hz in a $2$kHz bandwidth.

  A cornerstone effect in spintronics is spin pumping by dynamical magnetization that is steadily precessing with frequency. Here we employ more general than "standard model" approaches, time-dependent nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) and Floquet-NEGF, to predict unforeseen features of spin pumping.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
