- Abstract summary: We show a counterintuitive architecture employing intentionally-created lattice defects to induce coherent effects in the charge transport of graphene.
The interference effects are both theoretically and experimentally investigated and manifest as sheet resistance oscillations up to 30 K for both polarities of charge carriers.
Our findings propose defective graphene as an original platform for the realization of innovative coherent electronic devices with applications in nano and quantum technologies.

- Abstract: Electron optics deals with the wave-nature of charge carriers to induce, investigate and exploit coherent phenomena in solid state devices, in analogy with optics and photonics. Typically, these goals are achieved in complex electronic devices taking advantage of the macroscopically coherent charge transport in two dimensional electron gases and superconductors. Here, we demonstrate a simple counterintuitive architecture employing intentionally-created lattice defects to induce collective coherent effects in the charge transport of graphene. More specifically, multiple Fabry-P\'erot cavities are produced by irradiating graphene via low-energy electron-beam to form periodically alternated defective and pristine nano-stripes. The enhanced hole-doping in the defective stripes creates potential barriers behaving as partially reflecting mirrors and resonantly confining the carrier-waves within the pristine areas. The interference effects are both theoretically and experimentally investigated and manifest as sheet resistance oscillations up to 30 K for both polarities of charge carriers, contrarily to traditional electrostatically-created Fabry-P\'erot interferometers. Our findings propose defective graphene as an original platform for the realization of innovative coherent electronic devices with applications in nano and quantum technologies.
