Dynamic control of coherent pulses via destructive interference in graphene under Landau quantization

Abstract We analyze the destructive interference in monolayer graphene under Landau quantization in a time-dependent way by using the Bloch-Maxwell formalism. Based on this analysis, we investigate the dynamics control of an infrared probe and a terahertz (THz) switch pulses in graphene. In presence...
