• Abstract summary: We extend the conventional transfer matrix method to include anisotropic features for electron transmission in two-dimensional materials. This method allows to study transmission properties of anisotropic and stratified electrostatic potential media. We apply the extended matrix method to obtain the electron transmission, conductance, and Fano factor for the interplay of an uniperiodicly strained graphene sheet with external one-dimensional aaxial potentials.

• Abstract: We extend the conventional transfer matrix method to include anisotropic features for electron transmission in two-dimensional materials, such as breaking reflection law in pseudo-spin phases and wave vectors. This method allows to study transmission properties of anisotropic and stratified electrostatic potential media from a wide range of tunable parameters, which include strain tensor and gating. We apply the extended matrix method to obtain the electron transmission, conductance, and Fano factor for the interplay of an uniaxially strained graphene sheet with external one-dimensional aperiodic potentials. Our results suggest the possibility of visualizing this interplay from conductance measurements.

  We develop a method for calculating the scattering matrix of electrons in a one-dimensional coherent conductor connected to two electrodes. In particular, we show that in the high-energy limit, the transmission matrix aligns with the holonomy, reducing to a pure topological form. Our results indicate the possibility of achieving near-perfect spin-flip transmission, with implications for use in spintronic applications.

We show that the device can be tuned across spin- and fermion parity-changing QPTs by adjusting the FMI layer length orange and/or by applying a global backgate voltage. Our findings suggest that these effects are experimentally accessible and offer a robust platform for studying quantum phase transitions in hybrid nanowires.
