Abstract
We introduce an innovative graphene-based architecture to control electronic current flows. The tunable dot platform (TDP) consists of an array of gated dots, with independently adjustable potentials, embedded in graphene. Inspired by Mie theory, and leveraging multiscattering effects, we demonstrate that tailored current behavior can be achieved due to the variety of possible dot configurations. Optimization is performed using differential evolution, which identifies configurations that maximize specific objectives, such as directing or splitting an electron beam by tuning the angular dependence of scattering. Our results demonstrate the potential of the TDP to provide precise control over induced current flows in graphene, making it a promising component for next-generation electronic and electron optic devices.
