• Abstract: We study electron transport in a strained graphene sheet subjected to a sequence of $N$ electrostatic and magnetic barriers. Employing a modified and improved transfer-matrix framework, we examine how the transmission and reflection coefficients evolve with variations in uniaxial strain and in the number of barriers. The interplay of mechanical deformation and external magnetic fields is found to generate an anomalous Klein tunnelling, allowing the conductance to be effectively modulated through strain and barrier configurations. These findings highlight the role of strain engineering and magnetic field modulation as powerful tools for tailoring charge transport in two-dimensional materials. More broadly, they underscore how mechanical and electromagnetic control can be used to design next-generation solid-state devices with tunable electronic properties.

  We analyse the effect of a strong perpendicular magnetic field on an intersubband transition in a disordered doped quantum well strongly coupled to an optical cavity. The magnetic field changes the lineshape of the intersubband optical transition due to the roughness of the interface of the quantum well from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian one.

  Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics. Recent demonstrations of electric-field (E-field) sensitivities in molecular spin materials are tantalising. E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.
