abstract

New Dirac points appear when periodic potentials are applied to graphene, and there are many interesting effects near these new Dirac points. Here we investigate the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect of fermions described by a Gaussian wave packet in graphene superlattice near new Dirac points. The $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ near different Dirac points has similar characteristics, while Fermions near new Dirac points have different group velocities in both $x$- and $y$-direction, which causes the different properties of the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ near new Dirac points. We also investigate the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect influenced by all Dirac points, and get the evolution with changing potential. Our intensive results suggest that graphene superlattice may provide an appropriate system to study $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect near new Dirac points experimentally.
