Abstract

We show that the angle resolved transmission probability through the graphene-based double junctions with the spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) can be efficiently controlled by the SOIs strength, the parameter of the junctions, and the incident energy of the electron. It is anticipated to apply such a phenomenon to design an electron wavevector filter based on the graphene material by a pure electrical method.
